Old Forts And Real Folks

by Susan Burdick Davis

Book Overview

Old Forts and Real Folks is a book written by Susan Burdick Davis, which explores the history and culture of the American West. The book is a collection of stories and anecdotes about the people who lived in and around the old forts that were built during the expansion of the United States in the 19th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of life in the West. The first chapter explores the history of the forts themselves, and how they were built and used by the military. Subsequent chapters delve into the lives of the people who lived in and around the forts, including soldiers, settlers, and Native Americans. Throughout the book, Davis paints a vivid picture of life in the West, drawing on historical records, personal accounts, and her own experiences living in the region. She explores the challenges and triumphs of life on the frontier, from the hardships of travel and settlement to the joys of community and family. Old Forts and Real Folks is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the American West. It offers a unique perspective on a period of American history that is often romanticized but rarely understood in depth. Davis's writing is both informative and entertaining, making this book a must-read for anyone who loves history, storytelling, or the West itself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
