The book is a series of sketches drawn from the author's own experience of over thirty years on the Dakota Territory frontier. As an enlisted soldier, a hunter and trapper, a woodsman and a journalist, he gained a personal knowledge of his subject from both the Native American's and the white man's standpoint making his stories particularly interesting. Joseph Henry Taylor (1845-1908) enlisted In the Union Army at the breaking out of the war, and served with credit. In 1864 he went to Iowa and this was the beginning of his adventurous career. After a trapping and hunting expedition in Iowa, he went to Yankton, then the capital of the territory of Dakota, in 1864 or 1865.From here Taylor took up the trail of the frontiersman, and became a wanderer. He followed the Missouri river and spent several years with the Indians. He engaged in trapping and hunting and was a familiar character with all old-time Steamboat men on the Big Muddy. He finally located at Painted Woods above Bismark.
