About this title

From Library Journal:

Charles King was one of the more improbable characters in American history: he completed 70 years of active military service and was the only soldier decorated for fighting in five wars. Known as the "American Kipling," he wrote numerous 19th-century dramatic novels between his campaigns. His books--best sellers then and forgotten today--provided matchless first-person insight into the frontier wars and Indian life. This chatty study by his long-term biographer and friend was only recently rediscovered and edited. Solidly factual, it brings to life a host of well- known historical characters befriended by King. Recommended for general readers and informed laypersons.
