In the Old West

Experience the wild and untamed West as it was lived by those who roamed it. In 'In the Old West', George Frederick Augustus Ruxton offers a gripping firsthand account of life on the western frontier in the early 19th century. Ruxton presents the brutal realities of the time, chronicling the adventures of free trappers, independent adventurers, and companies of traders who risked everything to hunt and trap fur-bearing animals in the Rocky Mountains. These fearless pioneers, accountable to no one and relying solely on their own instincts, were men picked by nature for great enterprises and great deeds.
