Frontier Ways: Sketches of Life in the Old West

by Edward Everett Dale, Malcolm Thurgood (Illustrator)

Edward Everett Dale gives a first-hand account of the way pioneer families and cowboys of the frontier lived. Dr. Dale has lived in a sod house, and he once rode the range as cook to a group of cowboys. In this book he draws on his varied experiences to describe all aspects of frontier life—the building of a home, the problems of finding wood and water, the procuring and cooking of food, medical practices, and the cultural, social, and religious life of pioneer families. This edition is a digital facsimile of the 1959 edition.
