Lincecum, Edward H. Phillips, and Peggy A. Redshaw published \u003ci\u003eAdventures of a Frontier Naturalist.\u003c\/i\u003e Collated from four overlapping memoirs, some not previously published, Gideon Lincecum's account of his life as Indian trader, physician, and naturalist is lively and full of insight. Lincecum's experiences of following the frontier in the early 1800s, all the way from Georgia to Texas, were not so unusual in themselves, but the intellect and wit that inform his memoirs make them unique. His scientific articles and collections of specimens, his correspondence with leading scientists of the time, and his six years among the colony of ex-Confederates in Tuxpan, Mexico, offer a first-hand perspective on that age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lincecum portrays many aspects of frontier social life, including marriage and divorce, slavery, education, religion, the social life of the Choctaws and Chikasaws, medical controversies, and the building of towns. He vividly describes the unspoiled flora and fauna of Texas in 1835 and tells tales of hunting deer, bear, turkey, and waterfowl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This anniversary edition includes a new foreword by Jerry B. Lincecum and Peggy A. Redshaw, offering their insights into the relevance of Gideon Lincecum's writings today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623497118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Jerry Bryan Lincecum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52418780889269,"sku":"9781623497118","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7249ba6b-5597-4507-921d-c0e43186cca1.jpg?v=1775570480","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/adventures-of-a-frontier-naturalist-the-life-and-times-of-dr-gideon-lincecum-25th-anniversary-edition-9781623497118","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
