Seventy Years on the Frontier 

Alexander Majors’ Memoirs of a Lifetime on the Border

by Alexander Majors With preface by “Buffalo Bill” Cody

A copy of the original book printed in 1893 by Rand, McNally & Co.

This book offers a captivating glimpse into the raw and unforgiving world of the American frontier in the 19th century, as experienced by a man who lived through its most tumultuous years. The author, a seasoned frontiersman, recounts his extraordinary life on the expanding frontier, detailing the hardships and triumphs of early settlers as they pushed westward, encountering Native American tribes, treacherous landscapes, and the ever-present threat of danger. With a Preface by “Buffalo Bill” (General W. F. Cody) As there is no man living who is more thoroughly competent to write a book of the Wild West than my life-long friend and benefactor in my boyhood, Alexander Majors, there is no one to whose truthful words I would rather accept the honor of writing a preface. W.F. Cody
