Produced by Roger Frank and the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "The Way to the West and the Lives of Three Early Americans" by Emerson Hough is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This text explores the history of westward expansion in America through biographical sketches of notable figures such as Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, and Kit Carson. It focuses on the development of the American character in relation to the frontier and emphasizes the importance of tools essential for survival and progress during this period. At the start of the book, the author lays a foundation for discussing the tools that shaped early American life and opened up the West. He describes the American ax as a crucial implement for clearing land and building homes, highlighting its role not just as a tool, but as a symbol of civilization itself. The opening chapters also examine the American rifle and the birch-bark canoe, emphasizing their practicalities and significance in the lives of early Americans venturing into the unknown. Through these discussions, Hough sets the stage for a narrative that intertwines personal adventure with the broader historical movement towards the West.
