Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 7 The diary of Lewis B. Hull is published with no changes except the deletion of a few personal or unimportant passages and minor changes in punctuation. In transcribing the diary of her father, Myra E. Hull was impelled by two motives: first, to preserve for the diarist´s descendants this revelation of his life and character during a significant period; second, to make permanent and accessible his detailed, accurate, first-hand information concerning a phase of American history only vaguely understood, namely, the part played by the volunteer soldier in the opening up of the Northwest, particularly the region of the high plains. The diary furnishes a glimpse of the flora and fauna of that vast region over which, in the sixties, still roamed millions of buffalo and vast herds of deer, elk, moose, and bear, offering royal sport to the soldier-hunter and food for his commissary. The diary also describes vividly army life on the plains, particularly at Fort Laramie, the most historic spot in the Northwest, and at Fort Halleck, that little-known post which was the center of Indian hostilities on the Overland trail during 1865, "the bloody year on the Plains." For the most part, the events of the diary occurred along the two main westward routes across Wyoming, the Oregon trail and the Overland stage route.
