Summary

"Return to the Old West with this gritty autobiography of a longtime adventurer. William Thomas Hamilton (1822-1908) left St. Louis at the age of 20 to spend the rest of his life trapping beavers for the silk hat trade; guiding hunters, settlers, and miners as well as scientific and military expeditions; and contending with Native Americans. Eight full-page illustrations by Charles Russell, the Cowboy Artist, enhance this engrossing book"-- Provided by publisher.
