Description
 
Of particular interest to Southwestern readers may well be the story of Taos' recapture and the pacification of the Pueblos...

From the first page to the last page, is a fascinating story. Within these pages we read of Ashley and his keelboats, of Mike Fink the great keelboatman of John John Coulter, Jim Bridges, Jedediah Smith, Bill Williams, Vanderburgh, Fremont, Colonel Bent and many other lesser figures. They are presented as the rough and ready men they were mixed in the affairs incredibly difficult, dangerous, foolhardy. But more than this record of adventures is given; the place these mountain men own in our history is described; their part - no matter how unconsciously they helped to win the West, thinking themselves engaged in nothing more than a day's work -- in empire's westward sweep accurately and vividly shown.

CONDITION: Hard Cover, 1937, 1st Edition, Riverside press, Seton Institute stamp on title page, no DJ, flaps from DJ pasted inside first blank pages with addition of a newspaper book review also pasted into book - see photo. Map of Trans-Mississippi Territory frontispiece, Good condition with overall wear but NO writing or notes noted within book. 7 illustrations.
