Pioneer Days in the Southwest from 1850 to 1879 (1909) is an anthology of memoirs by pioneers of the region. The book contains accounts by Emanuel Dubbs (1843-1932), John A. Hart (1790-1840) and Charles Goodnight (1836-1929), the famous cattle rancher who was also known as Charlie Goodnight and the "father of the Texas Panhandle”.

They were the true heroes and heroines who laid the foundation for the future development of the Southwest. Their accounts are filled with plenty of action on subjects like the Battle of Adobe Walls and other Indian fights, hunting expeditions and the challenges of making a living in on the wild frontier.

Misleading Description?

Perhaps I’m confused, but the title makes it see that the book is written by Charles Goodnight. Instead it’s written by a few different authors and only the first chapter is about Goodnight.

Laying The Blame

Right of the bat. The call the Indians in the story as savages. Although in the day that’s the way the where seen. I think there should be a disclaimer in the beginning of the book.
