Life of Billy Dixon is a compelling narrative of the "wild, free life" on 
the Great Plains frontier. Ride with Billy Dixon to a high point on the 
plains and look out over a nearly solid mass of buffalo that stretches 
in every direction as far as the eye can see. Stand with Billy Dixon 
at Adobe Walls, in the unsettled Texas Panhandle, as hundreds of 
Comanche, Kiowa, and Cheyenne warriors on horseback charge out 
of the pre-dawn darkness toward a few dozen buffalo hunters. Crouch 
down in desperation with Billy Dixon at the Buffalo Wallow Fight as 
he and a few wounded and dying men lie in a shallow depression on 
the plains surrounded by howling Indians.

    In the Life of Billy Dixon the Great Plains frontier is seen through 
the knowing eyes of a participant who lived that frontier experience 
and who fortunately left an accurate and engaging record for those 
who followed.

What people are saying about this book

"Dixon wore many hats on the frontier, including that of a trapper, 
farmer, buffalo hunter, and cowboy, and he enjoyed them all. A 
facsimile of the 1927 original, this book conveys Dixon's enthusiasm 
for the wide-open West, telling of his hair-raising escapades in Indian 
battles as well as his calmer moments on the plains."—American West
