Summary | "Thirty-One Years on the Plains and in the Mountains, Or, the Last Voice from the Plains" by Capt. William F. Drannan is an authentic autobiographical account written in the late 19th century. The text chronicles Drannan’s adventurous life as a youth and young adult, detailing his experiences in hunting, trapping, and fighting Indians in the American West. Notably, the narrative begins with his tumultuous childhood, highlighting formative events that lead him to embark on a life propelled by adventure and survival. The opening of the narrative introduces William F. Drannan, who recounts his oppressive upbringing on a plantation and his determination to escape to the city of St. Louis. After orchestrating a humorous revenge on his cruel caretaker and successfully making his way to St. Louis, he fortuitously meets the famed frontiersman Kit Carson, who becomes his mentor and guide. This initial encounter sets the stage for Drannan's transition from a troubled youth to an aspiring frontiersman, as he prepares for a life filled with the challenges and excitement of the untamed West. Throughout this beginning chapter, Drannan's personality emerges as resilient and resourceful, establishing the tone for the enthralling escapades that will follow.
