Title: Crazy--the kid
First published: 1921
Description: This is a book by my husband's great grandfather, relating the story of his adventures in the West as a young man.  He ran away in his early teens from his stepmother and step siblings (while his father was away during the Civil War), bull-whacked to Denver, later lied about his age to join the Union army.  I won't go any further than to say most of what he told was true.  There is one major exception, and I won't set that forth because I do not want to soil his memory.  He was a good man and lived an exciting life, homesteadng in SD and Canada, then back to die in the U.S.  Read his book and enjoy.
Places: Sand Creek Massacre, Denver, Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Canada.
