This early work on western pioneer life is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains the details of the author's life and experiences in the western frontiers of North America. This is a fascinating work and thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the history of the old American west. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
