Amusing Tales in the Tradition of American Frontier Humor

These stories are short and humorous, and work well in both oral and printed format. If you have read and enjoyed Mark Twain, H.H. Hooper, George Washington Harris, and other early American humorists, you will find a kindred spirit in these stories. American frontier humor is sometimes characterized by tall tales, exaggerations, and outlandish lies - not unlike some of the Paul Bunyan tales that many people still enjoy. Each story is accompanied by a fine pen and ink illustration by Tom Elisii. Readers who are also interested in American history, historical reenactments, the fur trade, rendezvous, and muzzleloading shooting will find a natural attraction to this book.
