Back-Trailing on the Old Frontiers (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from Back-Trailing on the Old Frontiers The fourteen stories in this volume are taken from the series, Back-Trailing on the Old Frontiers, illustrated by Charles M. Russell, which have appeared during the past year in Sunday editions of daily newspapers in all parts of the United States. There have been so many demands for the publication of these historical sketches of the old west in book form that it was decided to put them forth in three volumes at a popular price. This is the first of the three. It is planned to publish the other two volumes during the next year. In the compilation of these stories, which narrate briefly some of the outstanding incidents of dramatic interest in the pioneering days of the "Far West," we wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to such volumes as Pathfinders of the West, by Agnes C. Laut; The History of the American Fur Trade of the Far West, by Hiram M. Chittenden; The Conquest of the Missouri, by Joseph Mills Hanson; Beyond the Old Frontiers, by George Bird Grinnell; Indian Fights and Fighters, by Cyrus Townsend Brady; and the Overland Stage to California, by Frank A. Root and William E. Connelley. The illustrations by Mr. Russell, because of their accuracy of detail historically, are well worth close study. He is generally recognized as the greatest living portrayer of the frontier life of the West, and is probably the foremost living authority on the Northwest Plains Indians, whom he has studied for more than forty years. These stories are of much interest to children, and have been used freely in history classes in the schools of Milwaukee, Minneapolis and the many other cities where they have appeared in Sunday newspapers.
