About This Item
From back cover: "Seeking his fortune, R. H. Williams left the English navy in 1852 to farm in southwest Virginai. When that lost luster he went west and joined the 'Border Ruffians' who were fighting to make Kansas a slave state. By 1860 he was in Texas, and within another year he was riging with an irregular Confederate cavalry, battling Yankees, large bands of thieves, and Comanches. Returning to England in 1868, he fashioned his American adventures into this extraordinary memoir, first published in 1907."
