Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of the West: A True Narrative In presenting this volume to the public, the author offers it as a simple tale of every-day life on the Western Plains, told in the simplest manner. And dealing, as it does, largely with scenes and incidents pertaining to the opening and building up of a new Western country, it necessarily contains considerable local historical matter. And the author has, at the same time, endeavored strictly to guard against making any statements not drawn from his personal knowledge and experience. There is nothing fanciful or imaginary in the story. The narrative simply depicts some of the phases of frontier life necessarily involved in the settling up of a new Western country at the time of which it treats. And, although the author and his family are the chief actors, playing the principal parts in the actual life-drama, many phases of their experiences will apply equally to the early settlers in general. So, then, it is not fiction; but it is said that "truth is stranger than fiction." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The New Purchase written by Robert Carlton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Purchase: Or Seven and a Half Years in the Far West The Princeton University Press offers a worthy contribution to the centennial celebration of Indiana's admission to statehood by issuing a Centennial Edition of the "New Purchase" by Baynard R. Hall. This work has been pronounced "one of the best books ever written concerning life in the West." Its reproduction will be appreciated by all who are interested in western history. It makes available a handsome reprint of a volume long since out of print, the original edition being now very difficult to find and expensive to buy. This reprint contains the original copy without modification or expurgation. There is certainly no more valuable book on early Indiana. Judge D. D. Banta, himself very thoroughly informed on early Indiana life, has called it "the best and truest history of pioneer life and pioneer surroundings in Indiana that can anywhere be found. Hall evidently entered with zest into the life and scenes about him, and he writes graphically of all he sees and hears." It is my privilege in this Introduction to speak of the man and his work - the man who has realized his youthful ambition to be enrolled among the earliest literary pioneers of the romantic west and the book which has long since been recognized of such acknowledged excellence and historic value. In 1818 the United States Government obtained by treaty with several tribes of Indians what is known in the history of the Middle West as the "New Purchase." In that year Governor Jennings, of Indiana, Benjamin Parke, then Federal Judge for the District of Indiana, and General Lewis Cass, Territorial Governor of Michigan, acting as a commission of the Federal Government, met the representatives of the Indian tribes at St. Marys, Ohio. The Weas, the Kickpoos, the Pottawattomies and the Miamis were there in the persons of their chieftains and their spokesmen.

Download or read book Pioneers of the West Classic Reprint written by George S. Bryan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of the West It is said that by 1700 it was possible, in journeying from southern Virginia to Portland, Maine, to pass each night in a sizable village. Westward movement into unoccupied lands gradually became for Americans no less inevitable than their struggle toward political independence. With that movement began what has well been termed the second American colonial period; and a new race arose - the American pioneers. To the able if arrogant Lieutenant-Governor Spotswood of Virginia belongs the honor of having been, so far as definite records are concerned, the first explorer of the Appalachians. About his expedition of 1716 clings a suggestion of the romance that surrounds the Spanish conquistadores, "with lance and helm and prancing steed, glittering through the wilderness." With a party of fifty he climbed the Blue Ridge by way of the upper Rappahannock; crossed the Shenandoah, which he christened Euphrates; and took solemn possession for His Majesty George the First. Having taken eight weeks to cover 440 miles, he returned to Williamsburg preceded inscribed: Sic juvat transcendere montes (Thus 'tis our pleasure to go o'er the mountains) - the allusion being to the fact that for mountain-work the horses had been shod with iron shoes, not then used in lowland Virginia. This picturesque enterprise led to nothing. The first white men to cross the Great Mountains and enter the central plain were probably wandering hunters who, in following game-trails, also followed streams to the sources and penetrated many a clove and notch. Southwestward from Central Pennsylvania the Appalachians run in parallel ranges through West Virginia and Virginia, eastern Tennessee and the western Carolinas, into northern Georgia. Along the furrows between these parallel ridges, emigrants from Pennsylvania began about the middle of the eighteenth century to pass toward the new country they called "the West."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Life and Frontier Adventures: An Authentic Record of the Romantic Life and Daring Exploits of Kit Carson and His Companions, From His Own Narrative The pages here presented to the public form a book of facts. They unfold for the student, as does no other work vet extant, the great interior wilderness of the Territories belonging to the United States. The scenic views, though plainly colored and wrought by the hand of an unpretending artist, inasmuch as they portray a part of the North American continent which is unsurpassed by any other country on the face of the earth, will not fail to interest the American public. In addition to this, the reader is introduced to an intimate acquaintance with the Indian races of the countries which lie east and west of the Rocky Mountains. The savage warrior and hunter is presented, stripped of all the decorations with which writers of fiction have dressed him. He is seen in his ferocity and gentleness, in his rascality and nobility, in his boyhood, manhood, and old age, and in his wisdom and ignorance. The attentive reader will learn of his approximations to truth, his bundle of superstitions, his acts at home and on the war-path, his success while following the buffalo, and engaging the wild Rocky Mountain bear, that terror of the western wilderness. He will also behold him carrying devastation to the homes of the New Mexican settlers, and freely spilling their best blood to satiate a savage revenge. He will see him attacking and massacring parties of white men traveling across the prairies, and trace him in bis savage wars with the early settlers and frontiersmen.
