Life and Adventures of "Billy" Dixon
by Billy Dixon
The Battle of Adobe Walls
by Edward Campbell Little
Two essential accounts of the south western plains in frontier days
This special edition book contains two works-'Billy' Dixon's
remarkable autobiography of his life on the south western plains of
the American frontier of the post Civil War period and a useful and
interesting article taken from the pages of Pearsons Magazine which
describes the renowned battle at Abode Walls with contributions
from many of the participants. For anybody interested in the
history of the West, 'Billy' Dixon's name will be a familiar one.
Drawn to the excitement of frontier life when no more than a boy,
he lived life in full measure as a teamster, buffalo hunter and
scout for the army. Dixon was well known as an outstanding marksman
and when the day of battle came in July 1874 there were few among
the defenders of Adobe Walls more prepared or more equal to the
challenges of those three desperate days of conflict. Here legends
were made as the Comanches and Kiowas under the renowned Quanah
Parker charged to destruction time and again. By Dixon's side
fought the young 'Bat Masterson' soon to be known as another figure
of fame on the frontier. After Abode Walls Dixon's involvement with
Miles' expedition brought him to yet another heroic fight with
hostile Indians in the 'Buffalo Wallow Fight'. Together these two
narratives make a unique book. Available in soft cover and hard
back with dustjacket.
