Tome was born in 1782 near present-day Harrisburg and lived on the upper Susquehanna for much of his life. He tells colorful (and mostly true) tales about his hunting exploits in the Pennsylvania wilderness, as he tracked elk, wolves, bears, panthers, foxes, and other large animals through the state's north-central mountains, earning wide renown among his contemporaries. His stories contain suspenseful chase scenes, accidents, and narrow escapes, inviting the reader to view a still-wild Pennsylvania through the eyes of one who \"was never conquered by man or animal.\" \u003ci\u003ePioneer Life\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published in 1854, has since been reprinted several times; this edition includes a preface by folklorist Henry Shoemaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip Tome (1782-1855) was a renowned hunter, adventurer, and early settler in north-central Pennsylvania who served as an interpreter for the Seneca chiefs Cornplanter and Governor Blacksnake for fifteen years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 190\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 02, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53527968842035,"sku":"9780271065427","price":52.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/pioneer-life-or-thirty-years-a-hunter-being-scenes-and-adventures-in-the-life-of-philip-tome-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
