Excerpt from My Sixty Years on the Plains: Trapping, Trading, and Indian FightingIn writing this book the author had only one end in view, that of relating in a simple way his experiences as a mountaineer. In these days, when such experiences are fast becoming a thing of the past, the story is of special interest.The mountaineers as a class were unique. Life itself had little value in their estimation. They were pushing, adventurous, and fearless men, who thought nothing of laying down their lives in the service of a friend, or often, it might be, only as a matter of humanity. Theirs was a brotherhood in which one man's life was entirely at the service of any of its members, regardless of friendship or even of acquaintanceship.Equipped with nothing but their skill and endurance, a few ponies, a gun or two, and provisions enough to last them for the day, they set out to make their way through a vast wilderness that held all the terrors of the unknown.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Lots of adventures By Bomojaz William Hamilton was born in Scotland in 1822, but was brought to America two years later by his fairly well-to-do family and raised in St. Louis. A sickly child, his father sent him west in 1842 with a trapping party headed by Bill Williams (he of later notoriety as the guide on Fremont's fourth expedition) for his health. Hamilton remained in the West for the rest of his life. The fur trade was just about ending when Hamilton entered it, so other employment was necessary; he found this mainly as an Indian fighter, though he was also a US Marshall, town sheriff, and Montana rancher. These memoirs were written in 1905, just 3 years before his death.Hamilton is an adventure writer at heart, and the book relates one escapade after another. Many of these consist of fights with Indians, including Bannocks, Blackfeet, Modocs, and Pawnee. Much of this has the feel of what used to be called "boys books": lots of action, not too much moralizing, plenty of physical bravery on display. Its single dimensionality becomes a bit repetitious and tiring after awhile, but Hamilton's account of his life does have an authentic flavor and is certainly the "real deal" of a certain brand, at least, of western frontier experience.

Survival with all the dangers is amazing, it took more then skill By Norman Alfieri This book was well written in regards to the making the reader believe what a trapper endured back in a very historical time in our country's early years. Survival with all the dangers is amazing, it took more then skill, the trapper had to be lucky too. I enjoyed the book and found it hard to put down, I was surprised when it ended, I was ready to keep on reading it.

I am a western history buff and have read many western history books and this is as good as any of them, right up there with Billy Dixon's book. It is right from the horses mouth, just a great read,
