Adventurous Americans Believers in the West's Hard Edges
A portrait of Tom Smith known as Pegleg and Jim Cockrell tracing lives in early Wyoming trapping in the 1820s. Smith survives a shattered leg by ruthless self surgery and gains fame as a horse thief before dying in San Francisco in 1866. The narrative moves to Capt Randolph B Marcy's 1857 winter march into Colorado, cannibalism forced by starvation, and a near miraculous relief. It also highlights Gabriel Richard who built Detroit’s schools, library, newspaper, and secured federal funds and a printing press. He dies after aiding cholera patients in 1832.
