Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty-One Years on the Plains and in the Mountains: Or, the Last Voice From the Plains, an Authentic Record of a Life Time of Hunting, Trapping, Scouting and Indian Fighting in the Far West In writing this preface I do so with the full knowledge that the preface of a book is rarely read, comparatively speaking, but I shall write this one just the same. In writing this work the author has made no attempt at romance, or a great literary production, but has narrated in his own plain, blunt way, the incidents of his life as they actually occurred. There have been so many books put upon the market, purporting to be the lives of noted frontirsmen which are only fiction, that I am moved to ask the reader to consider well before condemning this book as such. The author starts out with the most notable events of his boyhood days, among them his troubles with an old negro virago, wherein he gets his revenge by throwing a nest of lively hornets under her feet. Then come his flight and a trip, to St. Louis, hundreds of miles on foot, his accidental meeting with that most eminent man of his class, Kit Carson, who takes the lad into his care and treats him as a kind father would a son. He then proceeds to give a minute description of his first trip on the plains, where he meets and associates with such noted planismen as Gen. John Charles Fremont, James Beckwith, Jim Bridger and others, and gives incidents of his association with them in scouting, trapping, hunting big game, Indian fighting, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Drannan began life as a young boy who is orphaned and raised among the slave children on a plantation until he ran away at 15 to be taken in by Kit Carson, a trapper and respected frontiersman. Carson took Drannan under his wing and taught him the ways of trapping and self-reliance, effectively becoming Drannan's adoptive father, though he insisted Drannan call him "Uncle Kit". Drannan soon begins traveling the frontier, learning to build shelters, trap animals, trade with or fight various tribes of Indians, escort emigrant wagon trains, scout for the army, and even try his hand at a little undercover detective work. It's a wonderful, historic glimpse into frontier life in 19th century America, with vivid descriptions of the distinctive personalities of various sorts of soldiers and settlers, as well as fascinating reflections on the characteristics and temperament of many different tribes of Native Americans. Of course, the unifying element is Drannan's maturation from boyhood to manhood as he makes his way through the rugged, ever-changing landscape of the western United States, with a few trips to Mexico and the Midwest as well. Skillfully woven, plainly but vividly told, Thirty-One Years on the Plains and in the Mountains is Drannan's historic account of a life spent trekking across the American frontier.
Download or read book The Oatman Massacre written by Brian McGinty and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oatman massacre is among the most famous and dramatic captivity stories in the history of the Southwest. In this riveting account, Brian McGinty explores the background, development, and aftermath of the tragedy. Roys Oatman, a dissident Mormon, led his family of nine and a few other families from their homes in Illinois on a journey west, believing a prophecy that they would find the fertile “Land of Bashan” at the confluence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers. On February 18, 1851, a band of southwestern Indians attacked the family on a cliff overlooking the Gila River in present-day Arizona. All but three members of the family were killed. The attackers took thirteen-year-old Olive and eight-year-old Mary Ann captive and left their wounded fourteen-year-old brother Lorenzo for dead. Although Mary Ann did not survive, Olive lived to be rescued and reunited with her brother at Fort Yuma. On Olive’s return to white society in 1857, Royal B. Stratton published a book that sensationalized the story, and Olive herself went on lecture tours, telling of her experiences and thrilling audiences with her Mohave chin tattoos. Ridding the legendary tale of its anti-Indian bias and questioning the historic notion that the Oatmans’ attackers were Apaches, McGinty explores the extent to which Mary Ann and Olive may have adapted to life among the Mohaves and charts Olive’s eight years of touring and talking about her ordeal.
