Grinnell retells, from their own journals, the adventures of men who went beyond the Mississippi when it was still Indian country: the fur trader Alexander Ross, the English hunter George Frederick Ruxton, young Lewis Garrard in the Cheyenne camps, John Palliser the solitary hunter, and others, down to a council at Fort Benton.
A vivid introduction to the first-hand literature of the fur-trade West, chosen by a writer who knew the plains well. Download the free EPUB.
