Smith: An Uncommon History

By Houston Smith and Brian M. Smith

"On the way home, the Lees waylaid them, and began shooting at Uncle Will. He jumped off his horse, and fired back. The ball struck, Dan Lee's thumb as he aimed his pistol at Uncle Will and the ball went on through Lee's chest. He died that night. Two other men were also shooting at Smith, one from under a horse's neck and the other behind a tree. Uncle Will shot one in the calf of the leg and the other in the heel, having emptied his pistol, he ducked into the brush and escaped." A story of the Smith family of Scotland arriving in the United States of America and traveling westward, as told by Judge Houston Smith. Harrowing tales of indian encounters, horse racing, growing up in the frontier, and treacherous travel by horse-drawn covered wagons. Memoirs originally written in 1930, adapted into a chronological account by Brian Smith in 2012.
