Young when he journeyed westward from Geneva, New York to Denver, Colorado. Much of his narrative is about his run-ins with Indigenous Peoples, "bushwackers," outlaws, and wild animals such as rattlesnakes. Young's Preface: "I present this narrative of actual events on a trip across the plains to Denver, Colorado, in 1865 and of life in the Far West in the later sixties. An interesting and valuable feature is a map of the country, made in 1865, by Henry Bowles of Boston, showing the old Platte River and Smoky Hills Trails of that day before there was a railroad west of the Missouri River.
