Henty transports young readers back to the early days of America's frontier with a narrative that's both exciting and educational. In this "fiercely accurate" adventure, young Hugh Tunstall travels from England to the American West where he finds work on a cattle ranch, encounters hostile Indians, and chases kidnappers. 5 illustrations.
Reprint of the Blackie & Son, Ltd., Glasgow, 1891 edition.
