Description

Ed Farlow seems to have been present at each necessary historic event within the West. If he wasn t, he knew any person who used to be.

In this historic memoir Ed Farlow recalls a life like no other starting along with his arrival as a young person in Wyoming within the 1870s. It begins with Farlow and a friend hopping a freight train for Laramie, Wyoming, and continues until 1931 when he used to be adopted into the Arapaho Nation by the Indians who had grow to be his friends.

His remarkable rapport with the Indians who were his neighbors at the Wind River Reservation led to his acting as a theatrical agent for the tribes for their appearances in exhibitions and early motion pictures. He traveled with them to far away places including Paris, London, and Hollywood.

He recounts versions of famous events the Custer Battle, a buffalo hunt with Indians, the Wilcox train robbery, the Battle of Crowheart Butte, a wolf roundup. And he recalls famous people Sacajawea, the Hole-in-the Wall gang, Colonel Tim McCoy, Joan Crawford, Chief Washakie, Cattle Kate, and more.

Wind River Adventures is the first publication of the memoirs of Edward J. Farlow. He wrote these accounts within the late 1930s and early 1940s when he used to be between seventy-five and eighty-five years old. He lived to be ninety and used to be active and full of life until near the end of his life. And what a life it used to be! It has been said that Ed Farlow used to be there when the West used to be born.
