Book excerpt: Famous Frontiersmen and Heroes of the Border 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. Biographies presented in this book are accurate histories of several important frontiersmen and heroes of the border. These stories are all true and are vouched for by early historians. _x000D_ Contents: _x000D_ Daniel Morgan: The Famous Virginian Rifleman, and His Adventures with the Indian Bear_x000D_ James Harrod: Founder of Harrodsburg, Kentucky, and Famous Scout of the Frontier_x000D_ Robert McLellan: Pluckiest of the Early Pioneers_x000D_ Colonel Benjamin Logan: The Intrepid Fighter of the Kentucky Frontier_x000D_ George Rogers Clarke: Famous Leader of the Borderland of Kentucky_x000D_ John Slover: Scout under Crawford and Hero of Extraordinary Adventures_x000D_ Lewis Wetzel: Heroic Virginia Frontiersman and Implacable Enemy of the Redskins_x000D_ Samuel Colter: And His Wonderful Race for Life_x000D_ Meshack Browning: The Celebrated Bear Hunter of the Alleghanies_x000D_ "Bill" Bent: Hero of the Old Santa Fé Trail_x000D_ Thomas Eddie: The Last of the Old School Trappers_x000D_ Jim Bridger: Founder of Bridger, Wyoming, and Famous Indian Fighter_x000D_ "Old Bill" Williams: The Famous Log Rider of Colorado_x000D_ "Big Foot" Wallace: Noted Ranger on the Texan Frontier_x000D_ Captain Jack Hays: Famous Texan Ranger and Commander of Valiant Border Fighters_x000D_ Bill Hamilton: Famous Trapper, Trader, and Indian Fighter_x000D_ Uncle Job Witherspoon: And His Exciting Adventures with the Blackfeet_x000D_ Henry Shane: Heroic Scout of the plain of Teas_x000D_ Poor Jerry Lane: The Lost Trapper of Wyoming_x000D_ The Song of the Moose
