The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Here are the stories of the hunters who opened the westward trails for the settlers that followed, first in wagon trains and then by rail. The stories of these men and their adventures are more exciting than fiction.
There is Davy Crockett who, as Kentucky was settled, moved farther west across the wilderness of Tennessee to hunt for bears.
At the same time, men after beaver were pushing through to the Rocky Mountains where grizzly bears were more of a hazard than Indians.
Kit Carson was growing up in a little frontier town in Missouri. At seventeen, he went off to compete with the Blackfeet for beaver.
Then came the day of the buffalo hunter and Bill Cody wins the title of "Buffalo Bill."
