Excerpt from Recollections of Frontier Life When I can first recollect (through the'perseverance and enterprise of a Yankee Colony that settled there in 17 99) it was dotted all over with neat dwellings and good gardens, producing every variety of vegetables and flowers that the mind could well conceive, yielding not only plenty but an abundance to the diligent hand. While these bluffs were covered with a variety of timber, wild fruit and flowers. The timber consisted of elm, ash, hickory, walnut and sugar-maple, from which the early settlers made a great quantity of sugar and molasses, a great luxury I assure you, at that time. The fruit consisted of grapes, blackberries, crab-apples, 'paupaus, dewberries, and many others. There was a great variety of wild flowers, from the gorgeous white and purple flower of the dog wood and the pink flush of the red-bud tree, to the tiny violet, arrayed in its modest robe of blue and white. (how beautiful is this tiny flower in its simplicity and humility, sending forth its rich perfume through the air, while growing so humbly at our feet.) Here I was allowed to ramble at pleasure through these scenes of romance and beauty, constantly attended by my brother, who was two years older than myself, and sometimes a number of boys and girls would join us in our rambles over the bluffs and through the lovely valley. We have often Spent half a day at a time in one of these rambles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of Frontier Life At the request of my friends I have endeavored to relate a few of the incidents connected with my life in the West. In the following pages will be found some of my actual experiences as far as I can write them from memory. I have made twenty-five trips to Alaska, been many times through Mexico, British Columbia and England, and during the last thirty-three years' travel have seen many things that would make interesting reading were it in the hands of a writer. I hope my short-comings will be overlooked, as these pages are only as reminiscences for my friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Frontier Life: Being a Description of My Experience on the Frontier the First Forty-Two Years of My Life IN giving this little sketch to the public, I shall endeavor to give a brief description of the hardships and trials of frontier life. Speaking largely of my experience and trials with the In dians in different localities where I have lived, I shall also give some amusing accounts of hunt ing the buffalo, wolves, and other wild animals on the plains, including my trials and hardships in the ministry while laying the foundation for Methodism and righteousness in new and un cultivated fields. In describing life and scenes among the wilds of the West, I shall strive in every particular to give the facts. Some of the material I have gath ered is from other parties, who were eye-wit nesses to what they have related to me. In giving my own experience with the sav ages, I may make some mistakes, though I relate what I think to be correct. The reader must be aware that, after the lapse of so many years, I may forget some particulars of the events I undertake to describe. So if any of my readers should discover an incorrect state ment in this little record, they may know that I was misinformed or that my memory is at fault.
