With an introduction by Hamlin Garland, this anthology gathers chapters from out-of-print frontier narratives: Jim Beckwourth’s adventures among the Crow, Frémont crossing the high Rockies, Theodore Roosevelt as wilderness hunter, Parkman at Fort Laramie, the gold rush at Sutter’s Fort and accounts of Brigham Young and the Mormons.
A good sampler of the voices that made the frontier, for readers wanting the West in its own words. Download the free EPUB.
