reviewed Tales of the Frontier: From Lewis and Clark to the Last Roundup on May 19, 2014 Tales of the Frontier: From Lewis and Clark to the Last Roundup
What a surprise I got when I started reading Everett Dick's Tales of the Frontier. I bought it used in hopes of finding information about my ancestors from the days of the great cattle drives. While it contains little that helped with my genealogy research, "Tales" gave hours of enjoyable reading, and what I think is a much better idea about life during those days when Americans spilled over the Mississippi River and covered the land all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Some of this material was familiar, but most was not.
There are stories of the gold rushes (lots of them!), the overland trails, the railroads, the cattle barons and the range wars, atrocities (mainly perpetrated by settlers on the native tribes), and much more. But there are also smaller vignettes such as When the Apple Orchard Moved, which describes Henderson Lewelling's successful journey to bring apple trees from his orchards in Iowa to begin the great orchards in Washington State and Oregon.
