For your consideration is the First Edition "The Plainsmen of the Yellowstone A History of the Yellowstone Basin" by Mark H. Brown, 1961, G. P. Putnam's Sons New York, illustrated with maps. 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. Colonel Mark H. Brown, an expert in strategic intelligence, reviewed the military records, journal accounts, and personal testimonies to write this exact and candid study of the flight of the Nez Perce. This brown cloth bound hardcover is in fair overall condition, scuffing and staining observed on covers, spine. Repairs made to loose spine. Deckled fore edge intact pages exhibit age tanning and foxing throughout, page 383 has tear, moisture stains noted to top page edges, no other obvious marring noted. Measures 6.5"W x 9.5"L x 1.5"D
