A "WILD WEST ADVENTURE TALE WITH HEART"
This is the review posted on Amazon by Professor K. Vestal:
A Wild West Adventure Tale with Heart May 18, 2013
By K. Vestal
A captivating biography told in actual letters written to, from, and about Isaac S. Schultz between 1880-1931. The very educated Isaac left his home in PA to seek his fortune in the wild west, but when financial disaster struck, ashamed of his perceived failure, he severed ties with his family, leaving them thinking for 44 years that he was dead. This page-turning volume is filled with adventures/descriptions of sheep farming, bears, cowboys, horse thieves, wild west entertainment, 1885 politics, wool trade, Miles City Montana, Thermopolis Wyoming, killing blizzards, and the story of the Schwenkfelder Church, all woven seamlessly into an emotional heart-tugging story of love and forever family ties.
An intriguing and fast read, written in folksy and colorful language, I couldn't put it down. Filled with photos and excellently edited, highly recommended for anyone remotely interested in our nation's Wild West past.
