THE STORY OF THE WILD WEST AND CAMP-FIRE CHATS chronicles the lives, exploits, triumphs and misfortunes of four of the greatest western heroes America will ever know: Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Kit Carson and Buffalo Bill. Even better, the stories of these larger-than-life western icons are presented and personally recounted by the last and most famous hero of them all - William F. The lives of the "Renowned Pioneer Quartette" (as Cody billed them) is the story of the great American frontier. These western adventurers were actors upon a stage that included wilderness, plain and open desert. They figured prominently in all the exciting episodes of the western theater - the wagon trains, buffalo hunts, Indian wars, the Pony Express, the Alamo and more. This is a firsthand record of their lives and their times, written by one who was there and who later brought these stories to the world's attention as part of his "Wild West" extravaganza. This volume is rich with historic detail.Its pages are populated by the pioneers, soldiers and Indian warriors of the Old West. Along the way you'll find accounts of the great Indian chiefs Sitting Bull and Geronimo (Sitting Bull later starred in Buffalo Bill's "Wild West" show). General George Armstrong Custer and a very descriptive Report of the Custer Massacre. Likewise a detailed account of Crockett's demise at the Alamo.
You'll also find tales of Indian fighting, Indian attacks and other "atrocities perpetrated by the Indians" against pioneer settlers. Cody knew these bloodcurdling real-life stories intimately, both from personal experience and as told to him by white men and Indians alike. This rare antique book is 766 pages long and it is absolutely LOADED with information.
In addition to "The Autobiography of Buffalo Bill, " Cody devotes an entire section of the book to "The Wild West in England, " a full and colorful account of his international "Wild West" tour through England and Italy. The massive text of this book is complemented by an equally large helping of illustrations - 250 in all, depicting many harrowing scenes of Western action and adventure, important landmarks, and more. At the front of the book is a full-color plate frontispiece entitled Buffalo Bill to the Rescue. In order to give you the most accurate description of this rare 137-year-old western treasure, I have furnished some helpful details below, starting with a pretty thorough summary of the book's contents. Next, a summary of the illustrations.
Further down the page, you can even see some of these illustrations for yourself. I hope you'll take a moment to have a look. DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB A PIECE OF THE WILD WEST FOR YOUR VERY OWN... THE LIFE OF DANIEL BOONE.
