Four Years in the Rockies, Or, the Adventures of Isaac P. Rose of Shenango Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Four Years in the Rockies, Or, the Adventures of Isaac P. Rose of Shenango Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania
Being personally acquainted with Mr. Isaac P. Rose, the hero of this narrative, and having had frequent opportunities of conversing with him on the subject of his Rocky Mountain expedition, I have by this means, and also from notes taken by himself, been enabled to lay before my readers one of the most interesting and thrilling adventures it has ever been my lot to record.
Cooper and other novelists have, by the aid of vivid imagination, given us startling accounts of life in the far west, and of the perils and privations endured by the early pioneers; but it requires a great deal of imagination to depict incidents more startling and terrible than those that have actually occurred.
