The Rugged Way (1911)

The Rugged Way is a non-fiction book written by Harold Morton Kramer and published in 1911. The book is a memoir of Kramer's experiences as a young man living and working in the rugged and isolated regions of the western United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Kramer recounts his adventures as a cowboy, miner, and trapper, as well as his encounters with Native American tribes and the challenges he faced living off the land. He also reflects on the social and economic changes that were taking place in the West during this time, including the impact of the railroad, the decline of the fur trade, and the rise of industrialization. Throughout the book, Kramer emphasizes the importance of self-reliance, hard work, and perseverance in the face of adversity. He also celebrates the beauty and majesty of the natural world, and the spiritual connection that can be found in living close to the land. Overall, The Rugged Way is a vivid and engaging account of a bygone era in American history, and a testament to the enduring spirit of the people who lived and worked in the untamed wilderness of the West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
