About this title

From the Author:

This book is the product of years of selection and editing of the letters of author Frederick Manfred.  With the support of  Henry Ford Community College (a faculty grant) and the Center for Western Studies, where copies of the letters were stored, co-editor Arthur Huseboe and I worked closely with Manfred to clarify any contextual or historical issues in the letter.  There was no attempt on the author's part of influence our selections.The book is valuable to scholars of the literature of the American West, of the early 20th century literary and social issues in the United States, and not least, the numerous writings of Frederick Manfred.
