About

In New York, acclaimed reporter Richard Harding Davis hopped a train westward, hoping to encounter the Wild West he had read so much about. His dispatches to "Harper's Weekly," including a riveting account of riding with the U.S. Army on the trail of a fugitive, are collected this early portrait of a growing region.

It is Davis' account of his wanderings around the west, traveling by train, and his adventures with cavalry soldiers, ranchers, and many others. He uses a sweet conversational style that reads beautifully today. Reading it is like listening to somebody tell you their war stories over a drink.
