Warren Wildwood
'Probably the most restless people in the world are the Americans, and for this reason, they make the most troublesome prisoners. They will not settle down to inactivity under any wrong or oppression; they will not bear any burden meekly or tamely; nurtured in the lap of freedom, they chafe fearfully under any restraint; their liberty they will seek at any hazard-they pant for it as for the air they breathe; show them the remotest possibility of accomplishing their purpose, and no danger, no thousand dangers, will deter them from the attempt; destroyed they may be, but not subdued.'Originally published in 1861, Warren Wildwood’s Thrilling Adventures Among the Early Settlers is a fun and fascinating foray into the period literature of America. Gripping tales from across America of harrowing encounters with Indians, Tories, and refugees fill the pages of this timeless collection of true stories from colonial, revolutionary, and antebellum times. The heroes of these adventures narrowly escape terrifying run-ins with savage foes to create the foundation for this classic genre. These inspirational and entertaining escapades depict true stories of exceptional men including folk heroes Daniel Boone and David Crockett. With tales that give a taste of early American life from a contemporary author, this book is perfect for adventure-loving men and boys of all ages.Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to preserve Warren Wildwood, Esq.’s Thrilling Adventures Among the Early Settlers.
