In his lifetime Edward Jonathan Hoyt, better known as Buckskin Joe, staged more excitement than Buffalo Bill, Fairbanks and Flynn, Karl Wallenda, and Batman put together. Born in Canada in 1840, he fought in the Civil War, homesteaded in southern Kansas, chased outlaws as a U.S. marshal in the Cherokee Outlet, prospected for gold from Nova Scotia to Central America, and served as a troubleshooter for "Haw" Tabor, the Silver King of Leadville. But essentially he was an entertainer, specializing in fêtes of music and feats of strength and agility. The master of sixteen musical instruments, he played in frontier bands. An acrobat and aerialist, he toured in circuses, once walking a tightrope two thousand feet above the Royal Gorge. His last hurrah, before pursuing his fortune in the jungles of Honduras, was a tour in Pawnee Bill's Wild West show.

reviewed Buckskin Joe on September 16, 2013 Buckskin Joe
My friend loaned me this book-- it is written by his cousin and it follows both of their dad's journeys as teens enlisting into WWII. (My friend is Bill Emery's son). And it was my privilege to read about the journey of these local families as they served our country! Thank you to all of you-- those who served and those who were left behind-- for your sacrifices for our freedom!
The author came into hundreds of letters written by family members during this time and through those letters combined with his father's memories, he was able to write a wonderful book-- giving us a very realistic look of how the war affected the farms and communities in west Michigan as well as a look at several young men's journeys in the military and then the war. It is a must-read for any lovers of world war 2 history-- especially local west Michigan people!
Thank you for sharing your family history with us!
