Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Western Wilds and the men who Redeem Them
By J.H. Beadle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage
of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality
reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable
prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images
of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also
preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics,
unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and
every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and
interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human
than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a
unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader
organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection
resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and
their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes
beyond the mere words of the text.

This is the autobiographical account of Bill Hickman, Chief of the
Destroying Angels, Head Danite, etc. After Mr. Beadle began to
examine the history of the Mormon church; and while all the Mormon
people spoke of Bill Hickman as a desperately bad man, and guilty
of untold murders, he was struck by two curious and then
unexplainable facts. The first was that while everybody, from
Brigham Young down, united in calling Hickman a murderer, and while
evidence could easily be collected of several of his crimes, not a
single attempt has been made by priest or people to bring him to
justice. The second point is that long after Hickman was known as a
murderer, he was successively promoted to a number of offices; he
was Sheriff and Representative of one county, Assessor and
Collector of Taxes, and Marshal; and during all this time he was on
terms of personal intimacy with Brigham Young.
