Alexander Majors was a man of action rather than words, yet his memoirs are a history of the Wild West and, although many of the scenes are romantic and thrilling, he presents a factual picture of the times and the men who made history with him. His recollection of his seventy years upon the frontier shows a life lived in a period of time "that tried men's souls to the fullest extent…when daring deeds and thrilling adventures were of every-day occurrence." He faced all dangers and obstacles while establishing a successful line of freighter wagons, a mail route from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Pony Express.
