My blockhouse was built at the foot of the mountain chain of the Rio Grande, on the precipitous banks of the River Leone. On three sides it was surrounded by a fourteen feet stockade of split trees standing perpendicularly. At the two front corners of the palisade were small turrets of the same material, whence the face of the wall could be held under fire in the event of an attack from hostile Indians. On the south side of the river stretched out illimitable rolling prairies, while the northern side was covered with the densest virgin forest for many miles. To the north and west I had no civilized neighbours at all, while to the south and east the nearest settlement was at least 250 miles distant. My small garrison consisted of three men, who, whenever I was absent, defended the fort, and at other times looked after the small field and garden as well as the cattle.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Too Flowery By Maureen Brightwell This book just went way too far into the adjectives while describing everything. If you removed all the adjectives used to describe his horse and dog alone the book would be reduced to about 50 pages. The Indian encounters passed in and out without much revealed however and the gist of the story line seemed to be his endless description of the nature and his hunting. I had to end the pain in the first third of the book and I'm a woman that enjoys poetry, just not when I'm expecting a frontier chronicle. I am spoiled by Allan Eckert I suppose where you get a real story, not just a description.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. great read !!! By matt I was hooked within five minutes. I personally have a great interest in the timeline that this story takes place and although it doesn't specifically state dates I am assuming early to mid 1800's. It is written entirely in first person with excellent detail pertaining to description of person, place, and events described. No shortage of action and adventure either !!!!! Definitely recommended for anyone with an interest in the life of the pioneer/frontiersman. This book will surely have you seeing life from the characters point of view.

The American frontier was a difficult and challenging time that brought out the strength and vitality of a people willing to conquer it. This book is an enjoyable read into the mind and activities of one who accepted the challenge with gusto and a matter of fact outlook.
