Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American frontier was a land of opportunity. It called to the hearts of men and women who longed for freedom, for new beginnings, and for adventure. But for many, this untamed territory turned out to be a proving ground, where a person's strength was tested beyond civilized limits. Some gave up the fight and traveled back East. Others didn't survive the challenges they faced. But for those with the strongest of character, the West became home. Come along to a country where a man could die a thousand different ways. See through their eyes what it was like to face grizzly bear attacks, fires, smallpox outbreaks, rabid coyotes, cattle stampedes, Indian raids, outlaws and more. The indomitable spirit of the West became that of the brave men and women who made these territories their home. Legends were born - some widely talked about, others known only to a small town in the middle of nowhere. Whether small or great, these legends still give purpose and hope.
