This large volume was published in 1888 and because of its size I divided the book into two volumes.The first volume contains the story of the lives of Daniel Boone, David Crockett and Kit Carson.Volume II is the autobiography of Buffalo Bill.Volume I is a full and complete history of the renowned pioneers - Boone, Crockett and Carson replete with graphic descriptions of wild life and thrillingadventures by famous heroes of the frontier. A record of exciting events on the western borders pushed westward to the sea; massacres, desperate battles, extraordinary bravery, marvelous fortitude, astounding heroism, grand hunts, savage encounters, adventures by flood and field, rollicking anecdotes, tales of sorrow, droll stories, curious escapades and a melange of incidents that make up the melodrama of civilization in its march over mountains and prairies to the Pacific.Includes original illustrations made especially for this book.,
