Rocky Mountain Adventures

"Fearful fights of American hunters with savage Indians, Mexican rancheros, and beast of prey. Giving truthful accounts of the awful fate of hundreds of overland emigrants amid the snowdrifts of the Truckee Peaks, from whence half-frozen men, women and children were carried over slippery cliffs, lashed to the backs of their gallant rescuers." So reads the original tag line for the book. A little fiction and a little nonfiction, this book tells terrifying tales of wonder while exploring the entire Rocky Mountain West.
