"Adventure is often nothing more than the courageous opening of an unknown door, hoping for more than one has, and making the best of what one has. The American West was a door of hope for generations of young Americans. Richens Lacy Wootton, later dubbed Uncle Dick, figured if he could work his way West, he would enjoy adventure and earn enough to return home for a more comfortable life than he could otherwise afford. Many did. When one door closed for the frontiersmen of Dick's era, they looked for another. It was No Time to Quit. This is his story and theirs. This history in story form includes four sections: Uncle Dick Wootton's Story; Sketches (word sketches of western topics); Album (photos and maps); and a Timeline. More than one hundred maps, illustrations, and photos have been prepared for this work."--Inside book jacket.
