Description

In the contest for land Jesse Hughes bore a part far beyond that of the average settler. He was one of those woodsmen in whom was concentrated the hardihood, the daring, the fierce & uncontrollable spirit of our barbarous ancestors in the fens & on the swamp shores of Northwestern Europe. It was war, danger adventure. On the trail of the wild Indian his soul hardened to iron & Jesse's nature grew more savage that of the man he hunted.He was grim, cruel, relentless & bloodthirsty. Be he was show more the product of the age he which he lived. (One of the Big Four.) Sixth Printing, 2000. show less
