[mtravellerh]

Well, this is more a travel and adventure tale then a western. Written by Robert Michael Ballantyne, a prolific and popular writer who has seen the places he writes about.

Subtitle: Red Indians And Fur Traders of North America

The man wore the leathern coat and leggings of a North American hunter, or trapper, or backwoodsman; and well did he deserve all these titles, for Jasper Derry was known to his friends as the best hunter, the most successful trapper, and the boldest man in the backwoods.

If you like James Fenimore Cooper, you will also like Ballantyne.

Dr. Drib has already released some books by Ballantyne a while ago that you will find in the index.

I have taken this text from PG and added a cover from a thirties edition from Fantastic Fiction). Sorry for the scan, I didn't do it myself . Added a TOC, streamlined and added the cover.
