Title: Wild Life in the Far West - James Hobbs
Review: I actually bought two versions of this book, thinking it was two different books. One (the copy of the original book), I donated to the historic Putnam Library. The other, a reprint, I kept. It was well written and easy to read. Hard to believe a "Mountain Man" wrote it himself. I got it initially because James Hobbs is buried in the National Cemetery here in Dayton Ohio. He was a veteran and in his obituary it said he was Native Indian. We are researching this, as it was known that he did not talk about being part American Indian. He does not name his mother in this book, although he mentions her, and he does not give his twin sister a name, and does not mention her again in the book after he mentions her. He was kidnapped by the Comanches and married a daughter of the Chief.Enjoyable book!
