Excerpt: In the year 1783, Western New York-or at least what was then deemed Western New York-was an almost unbroken wilderness, scarcely known to the inhabitants of the eastern and south-eastern portions of the State; although the greater part of that large tract of territory then known as Tryon County, was especially an unexplored country.

Excerpt: In the year 1783, Western New York-or at least what was then deemed Western New York-was an almost unbroken wilderness, scarcely known to the inhabitants of the eastern and south-eastern portions of the State; although the greater part of that large tract of territory then known as Tryon County, was especially an unexplored country. It is true that occasionally some adventurous pioneer had penetrated the wilderness, and endeavoured to form for himself and family a home, where, if he could not enjoy the luxuries and comforts to be found in more populous sections, he could at least be freed from many of the evils incident to the growing settlements and cities.

Autorenporträt
Gustave Aimard, born Olivier Aimard on September 13, 1818, in Paris, France, was a prolific author best known for his adventure novels set in Latin America and the American frontier. His works often explored the lives of trappers, adventurers, and the complex interactions between settlers and indigenous peoples. Aimard's writing was deeply influenced by his personal experiences, having lived in various parts of South America. His novels, written in the mid-19th century, were filled with vivid depictions of the wilderness, the struggles of the frontier, and the interplay of cultures during the age of colonization. His characters often embodied themes of loyalty, honor, and survival amidst brutal landscapes. Despite the adventurous nature of his stories, Aimard's works also subtly critiqued European colonization and the impact of imperialism. In his narratives, he positioned the "good guys" as trappers and native people, contrasting them with the corrupt forces of colonial powers. Aimard passed away on June 20, 1883, in Paris at the age of 64. His legacy remains one of the foremost writers of adventure fiction during the 19th century, particularly for his portrayals of the Americas.
