Harry “Sam” Young (1849-1925) moved west to the Plains of Kansas and the Dakotas from his native New York at age 14, in order to experience the Wild West adventure that he had read about in the dime novels popular during that era. He gained fame as being the last man to serve Wild Bill Hickok a drink. In 1915, Young wrote an authentic life story of his adventures titled “Hard knocks: a life story of the vanishing West” covering Pioneer Life at Fort Dodge; Fort Laramie; Sioux Campaigning; Custer Massacre, and more.He was highly successful in his quest for western adventure, working in locations such as Dodge city and Deadwood as a bull whacker, teamster, bar-tender. He experienced all the adventure the west could offer, meeting heroes such as Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill and others. He was the bartender in the saloon where Wild Bill Hickok was shot---and testified in the murder trial. He had earlier arrived in the Black Hills with Calamity Jane in the Jenney Expedition. In his adventures Young journeyed through Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Wyoming, Dakota, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon and Alaska.The life story here given belongs to a generation that has not only seen the world's greatest advancement, but has been a part of the greatest development of our own country. It has been a period rich in story, and the experiences here detailed run like a thread through the entire fabric. In the main, they deal not with the great heroes, the Carsons, the Custers and the Buffalo Bills, but with the great multitude of brave and adventurous spirits that have swept over the West in the past generation, and to whose undaunted courage and tireless energy our development is mainly due.

Excerpt from Hard Knocks: A Life Story of the Vanishing WestN this country where blood and station count for naught, and where the race of life is open to all comers, it is for little more than a mere matter of record to say that I, Harry Young, the author, was born in Cape Vincent, New York, in 1849.I left my home in 1863, at the age of 14 years, and, as this narrative will show, have lived in the West ever since that time. My home is now in Portland, Oregon, the metropolis of the great Northwest. When observation shows me what has been accomplished by the people of this section (to the generation of which it has been my privilege to belong), I feel a pardon able pride in the fact that it is in the midst of these people my life thus far has been spent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
