Synopsis

The Story Of A Pathfinder (1907) is a memoir written by Philander Deming, an American explorer and adventurer who played a significant role in the exploration of the American West during the late 19th century. The book chronicles Deming's life from his childhood in New York to his travels and expeditions across the country, including his time as a guide for the U.S. Army during the Indian Wars. Throughout the book, Deming shares his experiences and insights into the challenges and dangers of exploring the unknown territories of the West. He discusses his encounters with Native American tribes, his travels through rugged terrain and harsh weather conditions, and his interactions with other explorers and settlers. The book also provides a glimpse into the social and political climate of the time, including the tensions between Native Americans and settlers, the impact of the gold rush on the West, and the role of the military in expanding the country's borders. Overall, The Story Of A Pathfinder offers a fascinating and detailed account of one man's adventures in the American West and provides valuable insights into the history and culture of the region during a pivotal time in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
