Summary: "Reminiscences of a Pioneer" by Colonel William Thompson is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically around the early 1910s. The text recounts the experiences of the author and his family as they navigated the hardships of westward migration during the mid-19th century, highlighting the trials, adventures, and dangers faced by pioneers as they settled in the American frontier. At the start of the book, the author recalls his farewell to his Southern home and the preparations for the arduous journey to California during the gold rush.
