His migrations from Ohio to Utah with life-and-death adventures at every turn keep the reader spellbound in this unabridged, autobiographical account of the Old West’s most unusual adventurer among Native Americans.
In his own words Jacob Hamblin bears his soul with no pretense unveiling an eye-witness, honest journal of the political intrigue involved in Utah pioneer attempts to peacefully co-exist with his Native brothers. Easily considered the most successful—and bravest—diplomat to venture into hostile territory singlehandedly, Hamblin takes the reader into hearts of darkness and hearts of light.
His is a remarkable re-telling of one man’s odyssey through desert, flood, threat of torture, battlefield skirmishes, domestic disputes, faith-trying events, faith-promoting experiences, and a summarial review of civilization’s overall quest for survival on the American continent, splendidly told by a man who not only saw the events, but created them.
