For your consideration in this lot is "The Plainsmen of the Yellowstone" by Mark H. Brown. This is a first edition that was published in 1961. This book is a chronicle of the Yellowstone Basin. The book covers a span of more than a hundred and fifty years, from the 1740s, when the Verendryé brothers were seeking a route to the western sea, to the late nineteenth century and the days of the settlers who turned the prairie sod "wrong side up." In this book, you will come to know the people behind the famous names—William Clark, John Colter, Jedediah Smith, Custer, Crook, Terry. Others not so familiar are François Antoine Larocque, who explored the Yellowstone well in advance of Clark; Woman Chief, the Gros Ventre girl who became a renowned warrior, and others. The book has the original dust jacket. The book is in good condition, with some damage to the dust jacket. The book measures 6.5" x 9.5" x 1.5".
