Hamblin : a modern look at the frontier life and legend of Jacob Hamblin
"Now from the torn pages of Hambilin's own journals and diaries, found in an old, weathered saddle bag, the real story of Jacob Hamblin comes to life. In these journals one can discover the most valuable treasures in the history of this remarkable man. Jacob seemed to sense only the one word: duty. He seemed willing to suffer any deprivation, thirst, hunger, cold, loneliness, ill-health, jeers of neighbors, and even death if necessary, to carry out what he perceived as duty. Danger came with the job. There were, to be sure, many close calls. But Jacob's daily crusades in the Southwest helped soften hardened traditions of the fierce and proud Navajos, fed and taught the primitive Piutes-Shivwits, and forged lasting trust with wary Hopis...Clearly, with the greater knowledge now gained, it is time to re-evaluate and re-interpret Jacob Hamblin's role and impact, not only within the church he championed, but beyond. It is time he take his place among the world's notable missionaries, frontiersman, explorers, and trailblazers" -- Book jacket
