Frontier Slang, Lingo & Phrases by Legends of America (PDF download)

Frontier Slang, Lingo & Phrases by Kathy Weiser-Alexander and Legends of America (PDF or signed Paperback)

(See below for link to Paperback Version)

From the wild and woolly mining camps, to the rampages of the Civil War, to the many cowboys riding on the range, those frontier folks often used terms and phrases that are no longer used in everyday language today. Yet other words and sayings were often specific to certain regions and never used across the states. These terms, as in the past, are still sometimes heard in specific areas, but are “foreign” to the rest of us.

From the pages of period newspapers, books, and century old dictionaries comes the slang, lingo, and phrases of the American Frontier. Even if you're not looking for a definition, you'll get a peek into the charm and character of a historic era. 

In addition to the hundreds of words and phrases, readers will also enjoy more than 150 vintage images.
