This compilation brings together two memoirs written about one man, Nick Wilson. The first, written by Wilson and previously published in four different versions, was printed in 1910 as Uncle Nick Among the Shoshones and is also known as Among the Shoshones . Wilson was one of the first Mormon converts, and this book chronicles his life after leaving Utah to live with the Shoshone Indians. Wilson then became a Pony Express rider and an interpreter for five Indian languages. The second memoir, first printed in 1985, was written by Wilson's son Charles at the end of his life, and continues Nick's fascinating story with the help of John J. Stewart, who wrote the preface. Charles answers questions about Nick's life and gives further details about his family and eventual return to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Annotation 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
