James O. Pattie wrote this historic autobiography to tell tales of
his life in the Old West with a group of settlers as they traversed
the North American frontier in the early 19th century. Pattie was a
headstrong young man and archetypal pioneer facing many dangers
inherent to such life. He would traverse the great Western plains,
encounter Native Americans who were variously friendly, neutral or
hostile, set up a successful sawmill business, and experience all
the adventures and adversity peculiar to his era. Rather than be
split into chapters or otherwise, Pattie's recollections are told
in one lengthy story. However, this edition contains an
introduction from the editor, who personally summarizes and notes
the major factors which shaped the author's life. Unusually for men
on the frontier, Pattie expresses devotion and worry for members of
his family - the death of his father and mother are a source of
emotional outpouring, as the young Mr. Pattie seeks to honor both.
