Excerpt from Pioneer Life and Frontier Adventures: An Authentic Record of the Romantic Life and Daring Exploits of Kit Carson and His Companions, From His Own Narrative The pages here presented to the public form a book of facts. They unfold for the student, as does no other work vet extant, the great interior wilderness of the Territories belonging to the United States. The scenic views, though plainly colored and wrought by the hand of an unpretending artist, inasmuch as they portray a part of the North American continent which is unsurpassed by any other country on the face of the earth, will not fail to interest the American public. In addition to this, the reader is introduced to an intimate acquaintance with the Indian races of the countries which lie east and west of the Rocky Mountains. The savage warrior and hunter is presented, stripped of all the decorations with which writers of fiction have dressed him. He is seen in his ferocity and gentleness, in his rascality and nobility, in his boyhood, manhood, and old age, and in his wisdom and ignorance. The attentive reader will learn of his approximations to truth, his bundle of superstitions, his acts at home and on the war-path, his success while following the buffalo, and engaging the wild Rocky Mountain bear, that terror of the western wilderness. He will also behold him carrying devastation to the homes of the New Mexican settlers, and freely spilling their best blood to satiate a savage revenge. He will see him attacking and massacring parties of white men traveling across the prairies, and trace him in bis savage wars with the early settlers and frontiersmen.

Pioneer Life and Frontier Adventures is an authentic record of the life and times of Christopher “Kit” Carson and his companions in the American West. Derived from Carson’s own narrative, as well as the observations of the author and others, DeWitt C. Peters presents a sweeping view of the lands and peoples of the territories both east and west of the Rockies. He gives us a Carson stripped of the excesses of the dime novels; a sober, stalwart and truthful man who spoke French and Spanish, as well as several Indian dialects. He was an expert on native customs and habits. His early explorations paved the way for the westward expansion of the United States, and his abilities with a rifle created colorful legends. Peters also unfolds for the reader, the great interior wilderness of the territories belonging to the United States, their native tribes and the truths and superstitions they held dear and acts at home as well as on the warpath. Filled with illustrations, DeWitt C. Peters has written an enlightening biography of one of America’s most colorful figures

New York Times bestseller A down-to-earth, hilarious collection of stories and musings on marriage, motherhood, and country life from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and star of the Food Network show The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. Once upon a time, I lost my marbles and married a sexy, Wrangler-wearing cowboy named Ladd. That single decision would wind up setting the stage for years of rural adventures (and misadventures), and while I can't imagine my life being any different, raising a family in the “idyllic” countryside has not been without a few bumps in the road. (Or were those cow patties? It's hard to tell the difference sometimes.) I'm excited to share this crazy collection of true stories from my full-of-energy, hard-to-tame, wonderfully wild (and very weird) frontier family. From the unique challenges of being married to a rancher to the blood, sweat, mud, and tears of raising country kids, I'll pull back the curtain and let you in on some of the sh*t and shenanigans that have really gone on here on Drummond Ranch over the past two-plus decades. You'll learn about marital spats, run-ins with wildlife, ER visits, my parenting neuroses, triumphs, tribulations, love, loss . . . and how manure has somehow managed to weave its way through all of it. To keep things up to the minute, you'll also hear about more recent family developments that have tested my sanity and pushed me to the brink. (And pleasantly surprised me, too.) This book is both a love letter and a laugh letter, and I hope you get a big kick out of it all: the good, the bad, and the dirty. Mostly, I hope it demonstrates how much I adore this family of mine . . . even if I sometimes have to use rubber snakes to show it.
