Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book is an account of one of the most isolated frontiers in the lower forty-eight states where many people came to exploit the public domain and then left. Legitimate homesteaders came, settled, and to a large extent failed, while thousands of lumberjacks toiled to harvest nature's bounty.
