Download or read book Deep Trails in the Old West written by Frank Clifford and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cowboy and drifter Frank Clifford lived a lot of lives—and raised a lot of hell—in the first quarter of his life. The number of times he changed his name—Clifford being just one of them—suggests that he often traveled just steps ahead of the law. During the 1870s and 1880s his restless spirit led him all over the Southwest, crossing the paths of many of the era’s most notorious characters, most notably Clay Allison and Billy the Kid. More than just an entertaining and informative narrative of his Wild West adventures, Clifford’s memoir also paints a picture of how ranchers and ordinary folk lived, worked, and stayed alive during those tumultuous years. Written in 1940 and edited and annotated by Frederick Nolan, Deep Trails in the Old West is likely one of the last eyewitness histories of the old West ever to be discovered. As Frank Clifford, the author rode with outlaw Clay Allison’s Colfax County vigilantes, traveled with Charlie Siringo, cowboyed on the Bell Ranch, contended with Apaches, and mined for gold in Hillsboro. In 1880 he was one of the Panhandle cowboys sent into New Mexico to recover cattle stolen by Billy the Kid and his compañeros—and in the process he got to know the Kid dangerously well. In unveiling this work, Nolan faithfully preserves Clifford’s own words, providing helpful annotation without censoring either the author’s strong opinions or his racial biases. For all its roughness, Deep Trails in the Old West is a rich resource of frontier lore, customs, and manners, told by a man who saw the Old West at its wildest—and lived to tell the tale.

Book excerpt: In the network of streams draining the eastern portion of Michigan and known as the Saginaw waters, the great firm of Morrison & Daly had for many years carried on extensive logging operations in the wilderness. The number of their camps was legion, of their employees a multitude. Each spring they had gathered in their capacious booms from thirty to fifty million feet of pine logs. Now at last, in the early eighties, they reached the end of their holdings. Another winter would finish the cut. Two summers would see the great mills at Beeson Lake dismantled or sold, while Mr. Daly, the "woods partner" of the combination, would flit away to the scenes of new and perhaps more extensive operations. At this juncture Mr. Daly called to him John Radway, a man whom he knew to possess extensive experience, a little capital, and a desire for more of both.

Download or read book The Western Echo written by George W. Romspert and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the object of the author; by this volume; to place before the people a brief history of the western states and territories through which he traveled in a late long overland tour; together with a sketch of the customs and occupations of the people in all the parts described. A journey by wagon through so much territory; by so many unknown; has furnished the author with knowledge that will be of so much value to persons who think of going West; and more especially to those who intend trying their fortunes in the regions of the setting sun; that he feels himself somewhat in duty bound to reduce it to print. Many fabulous and speculative histories have been written of the same country; and; with prejudiced pens; they have been deceitful records.

Was it murder or self-defense? Will it be banishment or a hanging. Halfway along the two-thousand mile journey of the Oregon Trail, as the Townes Party approaches the South Pass, they realize the trail holds obstacles beyond the steep cliff faces, the treacherous river crossings, and the miles without water. Obstacles they could have never predicted. An outfit of rough men are journeying back east, carrying with them their prizes to sell to Easterners. When they encounter the Townes Party bound for Oregon's green valleys, they may have found another prize or two. If the Townes Party is going to make it to Bridger's Fort and beyond, they'll first have to survive An Incident at South Pass. If you love traditional Westerns steeped in history and full of action, then saddle up your best riding horse and pack your wagon light. This trail goes on forever. But be sure to bring plenty of powder and shot, because you never know what dangers you'll encounter on the way through the South Pass. Grab your copy today!
