Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Frontiersman Dear Sir, I Have just read "A Frontiersman," and was more than interested. His description of the West is true to life, and I know a lot of the men he mentions. As to his ride from Canada to old Mexico I envy him the trip. Very truly yours, (Signed) W. F. Cody("Buffalo Bill"). The Adventurous Novelist Mr. Roger Pocock, the author of "The Frontiersman," which is looked forward to with much interest, is the brother of Miss Lena Ashwell, the actress, and is a great horseman. He rode from Fort Macleod, at the foot of the Rockies, to the city of Mexico, 3600 statute miles. The ride was done on three horses, not including pack animals, and occupied 200 days - from 28th June 1899 to 21st January 1900. Mr. Pocock has led a life of extraordinary adventure, and in his time has played many parts. He has been in turn cowboy, novelist, poet, missionary, pirate, prospector, pedlar, farm-hand, photographer, law clerk, telegraph operator, and scout. He led an expedition to Klondyke, has served in the North-West Police - where he was badly frost-bitten - and was a scout in the recent Transvaal War.
