This book, written in his own words, preserves the pioneer spirit, the thrilling experiences, the danger, the tragedy, and the struggle of frontier life. \u003c\/font\u003e             \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"-1\"\u003eOrphaned at a young age, Howard Egan immigrated to the United States and was later baptized a Mormon in 1842. He was one of the first pioneers to enter the Salt Lake Valley, a messenger in the Mormon Battalion, an explorer during the early days of Utah and California, and the superintendent of overland mail during a time when Indians sought to kill white men at every turn. He was a man who did not fear to take justice into his own hands - a trait that nearly made him a notorious outlaw, but instead made him a legend. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e             \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"-1\"\u003eA startling glimpse into the life of a colorful Mormon frontiersman, Pioneering the West is an eyewitness account of some of the most exciting days of the Old West. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e             \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"anchorREVIEW\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e             \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Fort, Incorporated\/CFI Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133611753712,"sku":"9781599556116","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781599556116_p0.jpg?v=1763813141","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781599556116","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
