Publisher's Synopsis
""Jacob Hamblin: Buckskin Apostle"" is a biography of Jacob Hamblin, a Mormon pioneer and missionary who played a significant role in the settlement of the American West. Written by Paul Bailey, the book tells the story of Hamblin's life, from his early years in Ohio to his travels across the country and his work as a missionary in the Southwest. Hamblin was known for his ability to communicate with Native American tribes, and the book explores his relationships with various tribes and his efforts to promote peaceful coexistence between them and the Mormon settlers. The book also delves into Hamblin's personal life, including his marriages and his struggles with illness and poverty. Through extensive research and interviews with Hamblin's descendants, Bailey provides a detailed and engaging portrait of this important figure in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
