The frontier was an integral part of the American dream-a place where men could test their mettle and survive by their own devices. Here, in their own words, are the true and exciting accounts of America's frontiersmen who traveled beyond the edge of civilization in search of independence, adventure and living space. Drawn on by the mystery of the wilderness, and consecrated to exploring and enduring it, they provided America with a lasting mythology and an image of the indigenous American hero. These men belonged to the New World, as much shapers of it as shaped by it, and through their ingenuity, courage and doggedness they expanded the frontiers. But because they could tell a good story, in an idiom that was uniquely their own, they also captured the imaginations of others and kept alive the legend and reality of new worlds to conquer. The selections in this volume, ranging over two centuries, are preceded by the editor's introductory notes setting the time and place and providing background information. The color and gusto of heroes like Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Kit Carson and Buffalo Bill Cody are recreated here in their own stories, along with a host of lesser known but equally resourceful characters-all of whom formed a vital part of the American epic.
