Life and Adventures of Colonel L.A. Norton: By Himself (Abridged)

This is one of those extraordinary true life stories that you've never heard of. A Canadian immigrant to the U.S., Colonel Norton was one of the first to sign up as a volunteer from Illinois to fight in the Mexican-American War. Although he details much of his time in Mexico, his life went on to even more adventures after the war.

Gold miner, lawyer, district attorney, politician, poet, and traveler, Norton takes you along on his scrapes with desperadoes, in the courtroom, and on his travels across America.

For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
