Title: James Andrew Wilson, life, travels and adventures
Description: Charming. James Wilson writes his autobiography about his life in the rough backwoods life of  Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas.  He casts himself as a tough, sharp shooting "Robin Hood," standing up for widows and mistreated unfortunates.  Even if you take his account with a large grain of salt, it is still a window into the times and into attitudes and habits of the late 1800s. It may make you appreciate how much we have mellowed as a society.
My copy, my grandfather's book, has a different title on the hard cover: Travels and Adventures   of One of the Bravest Men Who Ever Lived in Texas
