Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maybe you've already heard of Billy Dixon. If you have, you probably know him for the shot he made at the second battle of Adobe Walls up in the Panhandle in 1874. It was twenty-eight men and one woman against a force of Comanche, Cheyenne and Kiowa numbering at least 700. Billy Dixon, using a borrowed Sharps .50-90, picked a brave off his horse at such a range that the Indians were spooked and decided to pack it in. US Army surveyors later measured that shot at 1538 yards. That's 9/10ths of a mile. Billy said it was luck. Maybe so, but it takes rare skill to make that kind of luck possible. These are Dixon's memoirs, as dictated to his wife near the end of his life. Dixon was orphaned at age twelve, on his own at fourteen, a muleskinner, a scout and a buffalo hunter. His life of adventure and freedom on the Plains comes alive in these pages.

Book excerpt: Life and Adventures of "Billy" Dixon by Billy Dixon The Battle of Adobe Walls by Edward Campbell Little Two essential accounts of the south western plains in frontier days This special edition book contains two works-'Billy' Dixon's remarkable autobiography of his life on the south western plains of the American frontier of the post Civil War period and a useful and interesting article taken from the pages of Pearsons Magazine which describes the renowned battle at Abode Walls with contributions from many of the participants. For anybody interested in the history of the West, 'Billy' Dixon's name will be a familiar one. Drawn to the excitement of frontier life when no more than a boy, he lived life in full measure as a teamster, buffalo hunter and scout for the army. Dixon was well known as an outstanding marksman and when the day of battle came in July 1874 there were few among the defenders of Adobe Walls more prepared or more equal to the challenges of those three desperate days of conflict. Here legends were made as the Comanches and Kiowas under the renowned Quanah Parker charged to destruction time and again. By Dixon's side fought the young 'Bat Masterson' soon to be known as another figure of fame on the frontier. After Abode Walls Dixon's involvement with Miles' expedition brought him to yet another heroic fight with hostile Indians in the 'Buffalo Wallow Fight'. Together these two narratives make a unique book. Available in soft cover and hard back with dustjacket.

Download or read book Life of "Billy" Dixon written by Olive King Dixon and published by TX A&m-McWhiney Foundation. This book was released on 1987 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life of Billy Dixon is a compelling narrative of the "wild, free life" on the Great Plains frontier. Ride with Billy Dixon to a high point on the plains and look out over a nearly solid mass of buffalo that stretches in every direction as far as the eye can see. Stand with Billy Dixon at Adobe Walls, in the unsettled Texas Panhandle, as hundreds of Comanche, Kiowa, and Cheyenne warriors on horseback charge out of the pre-dawn darkness toward a few dozen buffalo hunters. Crouch down in desperation with Billy Dixon at the Buffalo Wallow Fight as he and a few wounded and dying men lie in a shallow depression on the plains surrounded by howling Indians. In the Life of Billy Dixon the Great Plains frontier is seen through the knowing eyes of a participant who lived that frontier experience and who fortunately left an accurate and engaging record for those who followed.
