Description
The American West in the late 19th century was a wild and lawless frontier. This anthology of 22 non-fiction and fiction works captures the breadth of the lives and experiences of those who lived it.
Gamblers, lawless lawmen, killers, prostitutes, and corrupt politicians all mixed with everyday folks trying to make a new life in the open spaces and rollicking shanty towns on a new horizon.
The authors include
• Theodore Roosevelt (U.S. President and Dakota rancher)
• Mark Twain
• Bret Harte
• General George Armstrong Custer
• John C. Fremont (The Pathfinder)
• Francis Parkman (American historian)
• Sir Richard Burton
• James P. Beckwourth (mountain man)
and many others.
You'll find great pleasure in the variety of writing styles, humor, pathos, and adventure captured in this timeless work by a master anthologist.
