Description: "Clements Library's catalogue describes it as 'one of the most fascinating accounts of the life of a frontier hunter in print.'" Streeter. The book, says Graff, "is endlessly fascinating, for while some of the episodes are close to fancy, most of them are probably based on fact, if not wholly accurate. Many of Edwards' adventures occurred in Michigan." "The narrative is quite interesting, verging in numerous instances into romance, but it nevertheless has every appearance of being true to fact. Most of the incidents enumerated took place in Pickaway and Hancock Counties." Thomson.
