The MacMillan Company, 1910.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Author's Preface: I have told here the story of the last frontier within the United States, trying at once to preserve the picturesque atmosphere that has given to the \"Far West\" a definite and well-understood meaning and to indicate those forces which have shaped the history of the country beyond the Mississippi. In doing it I have had to rely largely upon my own investigations among sources little used and relatively inaccessible. The exact citations of authority, with which I might have crowded my pages, would have been out of place in a book not primarily intended for the use of scholars. But I hope, before many years, to exploit in a larger and more elaborate form the mass of detailed information upon which this sketch is based.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter I.

If today's technology had been available when first printed, they would be audio books already. I am grateful for the opportunity to record them now. Read online at archive.org\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrator's Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. Loving obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread or unheard.
