A Dusty Tomes Audio Book In Cooperation with Spoken Realms

The Last American Frontier by Frederic Logan Paxson. The MacMillan Company, 1910.

From the Author’s Preface: I have told here the story of the last frontier within the United States, trying at once to preserve the picturesque atmosphere that has given to the “Far West” a definite and well-understood meaning and to indicate those forces which have shaped the history of the country beyond the Mississippi. In doing it I have had to rely largely upon my own investigations among sources little used and relatively inaccessible. The exact citations of authority, with which I might have crowded my pages, would have been out of place in a book not primarily intended for the use of scholars. But I hope, before many years, to exploit in a larger and more elaborate form the mass of detailed information upon which this sketch is based.

Chapter I. The Westward Movement Chapter II. The Indian Frontier Chapter III. Iowa and the New Northwest Chapter IV. The Santa Fe Trail Chapter V. The Oregon Trail Chapter VI. Overland with the Mormons Chapter VII. California and the Forty-niners Chapter VIII. Kansas and the Indian Frontier Chapter IX. “Pike’s Peak or Bust!" Chapter X. From Arizona to Montana Chapter XI. The Overland Mail Chapter XII. The Engineers’ Frontier Chapter XIII. The Union Pacific Railroad Chapter XIV. The Plains in the Civil War Chapter XV. The Cheyenne War Chapter XVI. The Sioux War Chapter XVII. The Peace Commission and the Open Way Chapter XVIII. Black Kettle’s Last Raid Chapter XIX. The First of the Railways Chapter XX. The New Indian Policy Chapter XXI. The Last Stand: Chief Joseph and Sitting Bull Chapter XXII. Letting in the Population Chapter XXIII. Bibliographical Note

Dusty Tomes Audio Books are public domain books retrieved from history. If today’s technology had been available when first printed, they would be audio books already. I am grateful for the opportunity to record them now. Read online at archive.org

Narrator’s Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. Loving obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread or unheard. Aloha.
