This is biographical book. An authentic record of a life time of hunting, trapping, scouting and Indian fighting in the far West by Capt. William F. Drannan, who went on to the plains when fifteen years old. They settled in Tennessee, near Nashville, and lived upon a farm until I was about four years old. An epidemic of cholera prevailed in that region for some months during that time and my parents died of the dread disease, leaving myself and a little sister, seven months old, orphans.
