Summary:

Charles Shirley Walgamott arrived by stage at Rock Creek Station, Idaho Territory, on August 8, 1875. In an untamed land, far from his native Iowa, he survived illness, hardship, and lawlessness with his humor intact. Never a stranger to work, Walgamott mined, trapped, ranched, and hunted. While living with settlers, Indians, and outlaws alike, he amassed a trove of unforgettable experiences.First published in 1936, this one-volume book represents a collection of his fascinating stories, which were published in the mid-1920s."A glowing, colorful, and interesting section of the true frontier....stories exceptionally well done, for every one of them has pith and point and is effectively told."-The New York Times
