Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Second Bison Book Printing. 290 Pages. Tight clean book with minor wear to cover edges and corners. No marks or stamps. Interior text pages are flawless. The official explores of the Northwest and the Soutwest were pioneers but the official exploration of the great central region beyond the Rockies was undertaken 20 years after the actual discoverers and explorers had set out from St. Louis. Condsidering the fact that it was by way of the central route that the tide of migration flowed across the Rockies and possessed the Far west, it would seem that the discovery and exploraiton of that route should receive some attention. This is the story of that body of adventurers who, from 1822 to 1829, opened the way for the expansion of our nation beyond the Missouris. Jedediah Smith is the central figure of this story, for of all explorers of the Great West he was in many ways the most remarkable, The story begins with the movemenet across the Alleghenies and down the Ohio River after the Revolutinary War. Included is a comprehensive bibliograpohy.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Fine. First Printing. 282 Pages Indexed. Mari Sandoz does more than just tell the story. With her customary skill, she manages to recreate a man, a scene, an event, a page from history, so that through her prose this great story of the struggle of a small ban of homesick, mistreated, half-starved Indians against the military might of a major nation takes on the stature of an America epic. In the autumn of 1878 a band of Cheyenne Indians set out from Indian Territory, where they had been sent by the U.S. government, to return to their homeland in the Yellowstone country. This saga of their heart-breaking fifteen-hundred-mile flight is by the author of Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas and Old Jules, also available as Bison Books.

Bent's Fort was a landmark of the American frontier, a huge private fort on the upper Arkansas River in present southeastern Colorado.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Eggenhofer, Nick - Illustrations; Brodie, Jack - Cover3 (illustrateur). 4th Printing. 193 pages. A Bison Book. Reprint of the1958 edition. Gift inscription on front endpaper with date of 1973. Bright copy with clean white pages and no other marks or stamps. Tan cover with illustration of cowboy. To the cowboy the world was a circus of creation and nothing was beyond the scope of his laughter. His fertile imagination could produce trail drives of dry-land terrapins, cowboy firing squads for fighting game roosters, and a breed of honk-honk birds that could outrun a horse. He used humor to express his fondness for the West. Robust anecdotes and legends of the man in the saddle---who could lasso a laugh out of any two legged critter.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Fine. First Bison Books Edition. 252 Pages Indexed. This the First Bison Books Printing. Theda Perdue examines the roles and responsibilities of Cherokee women during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a time of intense cultural change. While building on the research of earlier historians, she develops a uniquely complex view of the effects of contact on Native gender relations, arguing that Cherokee conceptions of gender persisted long after contact. Maintaining traditional gender roles actually allowed Cherokee women and men to adapt to new circumstances and adopt new industries and practice.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Fine. Taylor, Bayard (illustrateur). First Bison Book Edition Stated. 375 Pages. Included is a 42 Page Appendix titled Report of Hon. T. Butler King. This is a reprint of the 1949 edition published by Knopf. No defects noted to this tight as new book with flawless interior text pages. The Eldorado that Bayard Taylor imagined in his youthful poetry was not half so fabulous as the California he finally saw in the historical year of 1849. He joined the flood of Forty-niners, not as a fortune-seeker but as a journalist, sailing from New York on a crowded steamer. The sight of San Francisco dazzled him: the simmering mountains and water and air, the few hundred houses that seemed to multiply before his very eyes, and the streets teeming with people of a diverse and bizarre character. Real estate was booming, and fortunes were being made, lost, and remade in two months. Before Taylor returned to New York via Mexico in 1850 he would tour the missions, mining camps, and scattered ranches farther inland; note the agricultural potential of the valleys; and talk with the overland emigrants. Taking the feverish pulse of a pitched-together society, he would, like everyone else, be changed by California.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Fifth Printing. 294 Pages Indexed. Pages 105-124 bottom corner is crimped otherwwise beautiful tight square book with very attractive cover. In June 1846 Susan Shelby Magoffin, eighteen years old and a bride of less than eight months, set out with her husband, a veteran Santa Fe trader, on a trek from Independence, Missouri, through New Mexico and south to Chihuahua. Her travel journal was written at a crucial time, when the Mexican War was beginning and New Mexico was occupied by Stephen Watts Kearny and the Army of the West. Her journal describes the excitement, routine, and dangers of a successful merchant's wife. On the trail for fifteen months, moving from house to house and town to town, she became adept in Spanish and the lingo of traders, and wrote down in detail the customs and appearances of places she went. She gave birth to her first child during the journey and admitted, "This thing of marrying is not what it is cracked up to be." Valuable as a social and historical record of her encounters- she met Zachary Taylor and was agreeably disappointed to find him disheveled but kindly-her journal is equally important as a chronicle of her growing intelligence, experience, and strength, her lost illusions and her coming to terms with herself. Includes a map showing the route.

Trade Paperback. Etat : As New. Baskin, Leonard - Cover (illustrateur). First Bison Book Edition. 430 Pages. An As New book with flawless interior text pages. This is the biography of the author's father Jules Ami Sandoz. She had tried to make it the biography of a community, the upper Niobrara country in western Nebraska. This book grew out of a childhood and adolescence spent among the story-tellers of the frontier, for the frontier, whether by Turner's famous definition or by any other, is a land of story-tellers, and in this respect remains frontier in nature until the last original settler is gone. There is a good deal of America in Old Jules. It is an enthralling story. But it is more than that, and much deeper. It is an experience in citizenship. Contents in 21 Chapters: Spring, Mirage, Jest and Departure, The Return, A Checkered Suit, Henriette, The Niobrara Feud, Rain Makers and a Hunt to the Big Horns, Emelia Cattlemen and Murder, Mary and a Land-Steal Plot, Rain, Hail on the Panhandle, A Polish Wedding, The Kinkaider Comes, Land Frauds, The Killer, Snakebite, The Hills, The Kinkaider Goes, A New Boom, and The Winter.

Britton Davis's account of the controversial "Geronimo Campaign" of 1885-86 offers an important firsthand picture of the famous Chiricahua warrior and the men who finally forced his surrender. Davis knew most of the people involved in the campaign and was himself in charge of Indian scouts, some of whom helped hunt down the small band of fugitives. Robert M. Utley's foreword reevaluates the account for the modern reader and establishes its historical background.
