The Backwoodsman: Or, Life On The Indian Frontier Edited By Sir C. F. Lascelles Wraxall This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Reviews

[Hugo Gomez]

It's hard to go back to fiction adventures after reading this. What a wonderful and perfect outdoors book. Put those wild west fiction novels away and pick this up. Rich in prose so descriptive as to be poetic, often majestic in imagery and style, and masculine in a hard and rare way.

Filled with adventure, history, and information of different native tribes and the author's authentic familiarity with them.

[Ronda Wian]

Hmm..it was interesting to see how they lived on the frontier...but, (SPOILER ALERT....): I can sum it up with, he shot a lot of animals, fought a lot of Indians, and loved his dog and had a favorite horse. There is quite a bit of action so it isn't really boring, it just got tiring reading about killing, skinning, camping, hobbling...killing, skinning, camping, hobbling ...FIGHT! Home again... rest...do it all again x5. Whoa! New neighbors!
