Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiography of American frontiersman Lige Mounts, covering his early life in the wilds of Kentucky and his eventual journey to the frontier of the American West.

His yearning for the frontier is palpable, as he studies every book he can get his hands on about the adventures of Lewis and Clark. When he finally makes the trip west, his journey reveals the stark realities of life on the frontier. He encounters unfriendly fellow frontiersmen, and brushes with Native American tribes, all the while chronicling the day-to-day details of life in the untamed West.
