Excerpt from Conquering the Wilderness, or New Pictorial History of the Life and Times of the Pioneer Heroes and Heroines of America: A Full Account of the Romantic Deeds, Lofty Achievements, and Marvelous Adventures of Boone, Kenton, Clarke, Logan Fitzpatrick, Eddie, Old Bill Williams, Gordon, Colter, Jack Morrow, and others Of the true pioneers Of Plains and Mountains the details of whose lives were gathered by the author amongst the villages Of the savages and in the camps of hunters, trappers, gold seekers, and elsewhere beyond the limits of civilization - are here for the first time introduced to those who owe so much to their daring and adventurous spirit. The subject is one in which the author has delineated the truths of history with thrilling descriptions of battle and adventure, many of which came under his own Observation, and in not a few of which he participated. Charming descriptions of sublime and beautiful scenery, laughable occurrences, affecting incidents, pathetic scenes and terrible combats follow each other in rapid succession, and the interest Of the reader is never permitted to ag. On laying down the book, every one will doubtless call to mind the Old but true saying: Truth is stranger than fiction for although in the entire volume there is not a single fictitious incident recorded, yet the most vivid pen pictures Of the master spirits Of romance pale their ineffectual fires before the thrilling recital Of this o'er true tale.
