"An account of the adventures and thrilling experiences of the most noted American hunter, trapper, guide, scout, and Indian fighter now living" on title page.

"Uncle Dick Wootton", in his own words, tells of living the kind of life that mountaineers lived, without resorting to embellishing the incidents cited and exaggerating his story. The plain unvarnished story of his life and adventures has more thrilling incidents than any fiction could devise. The story begins with his first trip to the mountains and covers more than fifty-three years of his life as a frontiersman and mountaineer. The day and date of almost everything that happened in the mountain region, within the past fifty years of his life,is related to the reader as factually as possible.
