Reseña del editor

The tale I have to tell will seem strange to those who know little of the social life of the West at the beginning of this century. These sharp contrasts of corn-shuckings and camp-meetings, of wild revels followed by wild revivals; these contacts of highway man and preacher; this m Alange of picturesque simplicity, grotesque humour and savage ferocity, of abandoned wicked ness and austere piety, can hardly seem real to those who know the country now. But the books of biography and reminiscence which preserve the memory of that time more than justify what is marvellous in these pages. Living, in early boyhood, on the very ground where my grandfather brave old I ndian-fighter !had defended his family in a block-house built in a wilderness by his own hands, I grew up familiar with this strange wild life. At the age when other children hear fables and fairy stories, my childish fancy was filled with traditions of battles with Indians and highwaymen.
