MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
THE PLAINS 
True Pictures of a Vanished Life 
"BILL" HAMILTON 
Appropriately enough W. T. Hamilton, the 
last survivor of the old race of free trappers, 
became the author of one of the best pen pic¬ 
tures of the old life of the plains and moun¬ 
tains ever written. 
No work of fiction offers more adventure, 
more thrills of desperate bravery, heroic endur¬ 
ance and hair breadth escape than this un¬ 
adorned narrative of the life of the old trap- 
snd plainsman, the companion of Bill 
Williams, Jim Baker, Carson, Bridges and the 
whose names are household words. 
Sixty Years on the Plains” is all that the 
name signifies and more. It depicts every phase 
of frontier life, hunting, trapping, Indian fight¬ 
ing, the beginnings of Empire building. From 
the store house of sixty years of wonderfully 
lull experience, Mr. Hamilton drew the ma¬ 
terial for a book of splendid interest and real 
value. Cloth, Illustrated.
