Leaving England at the height of his career and deeply involved in the London social scene, he shares his experience in transitioning from cosmopolitan society life to the development of the 'Wild West'. Growing up without a mother and with a stepmother who did her best to fill the void, the author credits his childhood reading for his ability to vividly recall the people and events described in this volume. His observations about society in Victorian England and the transitioning American West are rich with historical detail and personal anecdotes.
