Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Capt. W. F. Brannan, Chief of Scouts: As Pilot to Emigrant and Government Trains, Across the Plains of the Wild West of Fifty Years Ago
The kindly interest with which the public has received my first book, Thirty-one Years on the Plains and in the Mountains, has tempted me into writing this second little volume, in which I have tried to portray that part of my earlier life which was Spent in piloting emigrant and government trains across the Western Plains, when Plains meant wilderness, with nothing to encounter but wild animals, and wilder, hostile Indian tribes. When every step forward might have spelt disaster, and deadly danger was likely to lurk behind each bush or thicket that was passed.
