Dangers of the Trail In 1865 : A Narrative of Actual Events

Charles Edward Young (1846-? ) was the author of Dangers of the Trail in 1865: A Narrative of Actual Events (1912). "I present this narrative of actual events on a trip across the plains to Denver, Colorado, in 1865 and of life in the Far West in the later sixties. An interesting and valuable feature is a map of the country, made in 1865, by Henry Bowles of Boston, showing the old Platte River and Smoky Hill Trails of that day before there was a railroad west of the Missouri River."
