The Wild Man of the West, by R.M. Ballantyne.
________________________________________________________________________
The action of this book takes place entirely in the foothills of the
Rocky Mountains in North America. We can certainly appreciate the
hardness of the life of the hunters in those days, which were during the
early part of the nineteenth century. The action is very well narrated,
and is very exciting and interesting. All sorts of things are suddenly
pulled together in the very last few pages, and it would be quite hard
for the reader to guess what was going to happen, before the last two
chapters.
