About this Item

508 pages. INSCRIBED by the author. Appendix: Pages 457 - 508 - Supplemented for the benefit of Eastern readers, referring to references guaranteeing the truthfulness of this book, together with hundreds of names of early pioneers of the West, giving their several places of birth, date of emigration, and present address. Front cover has at bottom left corner and one small nick at spine edge at bottom; spine is darkened; corners bumped. Very good. (061) From a note included by a modern family member: Hunter's exploits included many activities, wagon-master, gold-mining, Indian fighting, Indian Scout for the U. S. Army and ultimately even an entry in politics. At one time he was the Sheriff of Pacific County and became a Colonel in the Militia during the Indian wars in eastern Washington. Ultimately, he became the prime negotiator between the military and the Palouse Indian tribe and because of his facilitating abilities, maintained peace in the area for a number of years.
