Trade Paperback. Condition: 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.

Book First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: 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. Contents: Sixty Lodges Standing, Ahh-h Buffalo, Shooting and Soldiers Going Back, The First Man Killed, Soldiers Soldiers and the Flooding Arkansas, A Soldier Chief Dead, Sapp Meaning Black, To Make the Bad Heart Good, The Parting Out of the Blizzard, The Rejection, Stepping Aside In the Barracks, The Fasting, The Ordeal Begins, This Is the Place, This Remnant, And Now the Yellowstone In the Aftertime.

The reasons for this disaffection were many: loyalty to the Union and apathy toward secession, the resentment of poor whites at being drafted to fight 'a rich man's war,' an intense sectionalism within the seceding states themselves, the pacifist influence of certain foreign and Quaker groups . A solid and well documented study." ~New Republic / "This is the sort of book necessary to balance accounts of the Southern Confederacy. Heretofore, the impression has been too often left that the South fought as a unit with a common purpose." ~Journal of Southern History.

This is about lthe old Santa Fe trail, the trappers and the traders and the mountain men who preceded them.

Trade Paperback. Condition: 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.

Book First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: As New. Baskin, Leonard - Cover (illustrator). 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.

Trade Paperback. Condition: 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.
