Frontier Memories III: Rev. John Dabney Shane Interviews as taken from the Draper Manuscripts

As the title suggests, this is the 3rd volume (and final) in Dale’s Frontier Memories books based on the Draper papers. Frontier Memories III contains additional interviews of pioneers conducted by Rev. John D. Shane in the early and mid 1800’s. These interviews describe the hardships, adventures and various aspects of pioneer life on the 18th and early 19th century frontier. These little details of pioneer life can be found nowhere else, except here and in the Draper Manuscripts.

This book also includes a revised and expanded edition of the original Frontier Memories (2002) which is out of print. The author strives to present you with the most important and interesting stories especially for those searching for facts and information on everyday life of the American pioneer. This is all first person interviews allowing you to enter the 18th century through the stories of the everyday folks who lived then.
