Hamilton was a classic example of this type of man.\n\nHe spent his whole life, from the time he was twenty through to his last years, on the plains, and was an authority on Indian life and customs.\n\nMy Sixty Years on the Plains: Trapping, Trading, and Indian Fighting is the classic memoir from a frontiersman that gives valuable insight into life in the far west among outlaws, Native Americans, hunters and trappers.\n\n“In the death of \"Uncle Billy\" Hamilton the United States loses its greatest Indian fighter and most skillful Indian sign talker and sign reader that this country ever produced.” Butte Daily Post\n\nWilliam Thomas Hamilton, also known as Wildcat Bill, was an English-born American frontiersman and author. His book, My Sixty Years on the Plains: Trapping, Trading, and Indian Fighting was first published in 1905 and he passed away in 1908.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1695768930\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1695768930.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hamilton, William Thomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
