soldier in the Civil War, deserted on his second enlistment, and
re-enlisted under an assumed name for service on the western Indian
Frontier. On his way west, he helped to chase the guerrilla Quantrill,
saw the smoke of burning Lawrence, traversed the Oregon Trail, and
tarried by the way at Fort Kearney, Doby Town, Julesburg, and Fort
Laramie. Stationed as a military guard on the telegraph line west of
Laramie, Arnold herded horses, hunted bear, became acquainted with Joe
Slade and other notorious plainsmen, and saw something of Brigham
Young's Destroying Angels. He described the great Montana gold rush. He
visited every trading post along the Missouri and became acquainted
with all the characters of note, both white and Indian. Married to an
Indian woman, he became skilled in Indian language and customs, took
part as interpreter in the making of several treaties, and served as
dispatch bearer in the Crook campaign."--Horace Bagley $13.00

Texas written in the 1820s by her 1st husband, Elias R. Wightman. One
of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, Wightman came to Texas in
1824 as a surveyor for the new colony. According to Mrs. Helm, he wrote
the 1st description of the colony and compiled the first map of Texas
in 1828. The volume begins with an extraordinary account of the Texas
Revolution from a woman's viewpoint, including one of the best
descriptions extant pf the Runaway Scrape. In the second section, Helm
relates her adventures in Texas between 1828 and 1835, including the
initial colonization of the Matagorda Bay area. This section is
distinctive in presenting pioneer life from the viewpoint of a woman.

solved he seriously considered resigning his senate seat. However, he

"Ferris merited fame even before he came to Texas in 1837. While
working as a trapper and fur trader in the Rocky Mountains for six
years, Ferris kept a diary of his adventures. This journal, the classic
Life in the Rocky Mountains, accompanied by a map which he drew from
memory, provided a unique and valuable picture of trapper and Indian
life in the 1830s. Ferris also gave the public its first written
description of Yellowstone's amazing geysers. As a businessman seeking
to become a landowner, fur trader Ferris followed his brother Charles
to Texas the year after the Texas Revolution. He became the official
surveyor for Nacogdoches County, which then included much of northeast
Texas west to the Trinity River. Although his brother returned to their
hometown of Buffalo, New York, Warren Ferris spent another thirty-five
years of his eventful life in Texas." $25.00

by the Blackfeet, instrumental in cleaning up the corruption in

others. He was involved in business in and around Fort Smith, MT before
