Publisher's Synopsis

This is the memoir, taped and edited by his cousin, of a 108-year-old man who died in 1990. Daniels lived mostly between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. He was born in Iowa and farmed and bred all manner of livestock, with a particular love of horses. More than a review of his life, this is an oral recounting of over half the history of America, taking in the Civil War, the persecution of the Indians, Henry Ford's first motorcar and the evolution of the United States of today.
