Story
This is the first-hand account of one of the worst wagon train massacres in the Old West. After enduring an attack on their wagons, survivors of the assault fled on foot, continuing West as best as they could manage with no supplies. Terror and starvation afflicted some of them to the point of cannibalism. Only 10 of the original 44 members were eventually rescued by an Army detachment more than a month after the attack. Left by the Indians is an eyewitness account of the Utter-Van Ornum wagon train massacre on the Oregon Trail.

Story
Since the test pilot Harold Harris became the first man to save his life with a parachute in 1922 there have been over 120,000 air force pilots and crew who owe their lives to their parachutes. Into the Silk is full of astounding tales of people who against the odds bailed out of their planes and were therefore able to enter the annals of the Caterpillar Club, a society open only to men and women who survive aviation disaster with the aid of a parachute.

Publisher's Summary
In 1834, Osborne Russell joined an expedition from Boston, which proceeded to the Rocky Mountains to capitalize on the lucrative salmon and fur trade. Beginning at the age of 20, he detailed the life of a trapper in his journal and recorded his adventures through treacherous terrain, encounters with dangerous wildlife, and confrontations with the natives of the Rockies.
Osbourne would remain there - hunting, trapping, and living off the land - for the next nine years. Journal of a Trapper is his remarkable account as he developed into an experienced trapper and a seasoned mountain man of the Rockies.
