Synopsis

A true memoir of survival and discovery on the Texas frontier in the 1830s.

This clear-eyed account follows a backwoods traveler as he reports on early Texas life, danger, and the will to endure. Set against the rough realities of frontier life, the book blends personal memory with first-hand scenes from a young narrator who lived through pivotal times in Texas. With straightforward storytelling, it captures the spirit of exploration and the tough choices faced by those who helped shape the region.

• Real, non-fiction adventures of life on the Texas frontier and the experiences of early explorers.
• A windows-and-wilderness portrait of how people survived threats from both nature and conflict during the era.
• Narrative scenes grounded in memory and historical context, suitable for readers seeking authentic frontier history.
• An appendix and notes that place personal adventures within the broader story of Texas in the 1830s.

Ideal for readers of Texas history and memoirs of survival on the frontier.

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.
