Stretching from "Aaron, Sam, Arizona pioneer" to "Zutacapan, Acomo
pueblo chief," the three-volume "Encyclopedia of Frontier
Biography" profiles approximately 4,500 frontier pioneers and
Native Americans. Dan L. Thrapp's comprehensive work will interest
scholars, researchers, and general readers curious about the
figures who developed, defended, decorated, and devilized the
American West. All the famous ones are here: Volume I (A-F)
includes Billy the Kid, Daniel Boone, Calamity Jane, George Custer,
Buffalo Bill, Cochise, and John C. Fremont, among others. There are
also entries for worthies less well known: Big Nose Kate, Nellie
Cashman, Scott Cooley, to cite a few. Even Gary Cooper and other
actors who portrayed westerners are sketched in. Thrapp's richly
detailed biographies are continued in Volumes II (G-O) and III
(P-Z). Thrapp has included seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
figures in both New France and New England, as well as the
trans-Appalachian country, but the majority are nineteenth-century
men and women who discovered, settled, fought for, or simply lived
in the raw lands west of the Mississippi River.
