Small octavo, brown cloth (hardcover), gilt letters (hardcover), 73 pp. Fine (As New), in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: One of the last paragraphs of an important chapter in American history, says the introduction by Dr. Donald C. Cutter, of the Department of History at the University of New Mexico. This reprint of a scarce book tells a first hand account of one man's personal experiences while traveling over the Santa Fe Trail in 1857. William B. Napton was a young Missourian who joined a wagon train when he was eighteen. Forty years later he wrote of his experiences and the book was published at Kansas City in 1905. Napton preserved sharp, indelible images of the nation's enchanted Trail: the crack of bullwhips, the threats of Indians, long days of endless plodding broken by a wild dash for buffalo or elk, the practical jokes of the rough teamasters, and the iron rule of the wagonmaster. This book is relatively unknown to most historians and bibliographers. It iwas listed as Item N-9 by Wright Howes in his bibliography of US-iana. This 1964 reprint omits a brief seci\on of the original on Napton's experiences other than his Trail days. Western Americana, American History, United States History, U. S. History, US-iana. uslic.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This 19th-century memoir follows the author's journey across the great American plains from Kansas to New Mexico. The author embarked on this cross-country cattle drive at the age of 18, encountering a host of frontier characters along the way. These included a cast of teamsters, Native Americans, and fellow travelers, with whom the author shared campfire tales, card games, and the dangers of traversing the untamed wilderness. Interspersed with these anecdotes are the author's accounts of hunting buffalo and antelope, a common pastime for travelers at the time. This fascinating narrative reflects on a bygone era when westward expansion drew adventurers from all walks of life to seek fortune and adventure on the American frontier. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
