Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What I Saw on the Old Santa Fe Trail: A Condensed Story of Frontier Life Half a Century Ago It is a strange coincident that I started on my trip across the plains on the first of May 1854 and it so happened that fifty years later, on the first day of May 1904, the date of issue, I tell my story for the first time in book form. Of course I have occasionally referred to my experience, giving short accounts of the trip, but I found that it was a difficult matter to interest people by telling in a disconnected way, short sections of a long story. The story given in this book, as relates to the Old Santa Fe Trail, was written for the Danville, (Ind.) Republican, at the request of editor Julian D. Hogate to whom I am under many obligations for kindness shown and for space so generously given in his paper. It was not my intention when this story was written to put it in book form. I was somewhat surprised at the interest with which it was being read and being commented upon by the public, who previously was not aware that I had ever been outside of my native state. I was in Danville a short time after a number of chapters had appeared and was congratulated by almost all of my friends, many expressions of surprise were heard. I was advised by a number of professional and business men to put my story into book form. I became more than ever interest myself, and asked Mr. Hogate´s advice in the matter. He hesitated somewhat, but said I would have to elaborate and make a larger book by continuing the story.
