Produktbeschreibung

The Heroes of the Last Frontier is a collection of biographies of valiant and daring adventurers, who were among the early settlers of the Wild West. These men were real scouts and trappers, for they lived in the wilds and had to know how to shoot a rifle; how to trap; and how to camp in whatever place night happened to overtake them.

Charles Haven Ladd Johnston, an author less widely known but noteworthy for his contributions to the genre of historical and adventure literature, particularly pertaining to the American frontier. In his work 'The Heroes of the Last Frontier,' Johnston intricately detailed the lives and exploits of pioneer figures pivotal to the westward expansion of the United States. While exact dates regarding Johnston's birth and death seem elusive, the contexts within which his works have been received reflect a deep appreciation for the rugged individualism and the hardships faced by explorers and settlers during the formative years of American history. Johnston's narrative style combined meticulous research with an accessible storytelling approach that captured the imagination and admiration of readers interested in the romanticized version of American frontier life.
