Excerpt from Life and Adventures of Nat Love, Better Known in the Cattle Country as "Deadwood Dick": A True History of Slavery Days, Life on the Great Cattle Ranges and on the Plains of the "Wild and Woolly" West, Based on Facts, and Personal Experiences of the AuthorWhile many things contained in this record happened many years ago, they are as fresh in my memory as if they happened but yesterday. I have tried to record events simply as they are, without attempting to varnish over the bad spots or draw on my imagination to fill out a chapter at the cost of the truth. It has been my aim to record things just as they happened, believing they will prove of greater interest thereby, and if I am able to add to the interest and enjoyment of a single reader I will consider myself well repaid for the time and labor Of preparing this history.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
