A new edition of this title which was originally published privately in a limited edition. This classic of the intermountain West focuses on transportation during the 1860s and 1870s when the Corinne Road north from Utah was the avenue of commerce to the Montana gold fields. Alexander Toponce spent over 65 years in the West. His autobiography is a record of his adventures as a pioneer in the rugged intermountain region of Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, Idaho and Utah. Full of action, anecdotes and character sketches and flavored with the author’s own direct and humorous style, these reminiscences are a thoroughly engaging piece of Western Americana.
