This book is also illustrated with paintings by Alfred Jacob Miller, Charles Bodmer and George Catlin. The Rocky Mountain fur trade was the final act in a world drama that began with Champlain, with Columbus, perhaps with the Phoenicians who first broke through the Pillars of Hercules. European man had at last reached the Pacific and conquered all that lay between. In the last violent years of discovery, with which this book deals, the mountain men were sometimes the heroes, sometimes the villains, but they were always the first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree quarters of a million square miles were at stake. By the eighteen-thirties (the period of this history), the French and Spanish empires were dead and the fight had narrowed down to Great Britain and the United States. In \"ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI,\" Bernard DeVoto shows the decisive actions - from Astoria, through the Hudson's Bay Company advance, the coming of the missionaries - by which the United States won the empire of the West. This is the story of the mountain men in the climatic years 1833-38, with special focus on the expedition headed by a Scottish sportsman, William Drummond Stewart, who had the foresight to take with him a talented young artist, Alfred Jacob Miller - and who thereby brought back a unique pictorial history of the early West.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prairie Edge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42124078153813,"sku":"OOP-MM,DEVOTO-across-the-wide-missouri","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/9756\/2453\/files\/oop-across-the-wide-missouri-lg__60623.1530235879.1280.1280.jpg?v=1770195227"},{"product_id":"all-products-out-of-print-book-a-pictographic-history-of-the-oglala-sioux","title":"Out of Print Book: A Pictographic History of the Oglala Sioux","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe book itself shows a little wear and tear on the covers and a little bit on the pages, but over all in good condition.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThe slip cover shows more wear and tear than the book.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThe slip cover has some color marks along the cover as well as a water mark on the lower left corner side.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThe condition of the slip cover is fair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote about the book from Dan:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAmos Bad Heart Bull, also known as Wanbli Wash ah (Eagle Bonnet) (1868-1913) - These are some of the earliest pieces of what is now known as ledger art which began as winter counts.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eBad Heart Bull was a child of eight when Custer met his fate at the Little Big Horn.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eAmos and his family moved around with the Oglala camp for many years after that fight, even spending some years with Sitting Bull in Grandmothers land (Canada).\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eUpon his return, he spent some time as a scout for the army year further developed his artist skill while serving as a scout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThese images cover Bad Heart Bull’s life and all aspects of Indian life a that time.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eA feta years ago, the 50th anniversary edition of this book was releases, but this is the deal and very scarce 1st edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e1st Edition, 1967\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prairie Edge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42124445319253,"sku":"opna,BULLHEAD-a-pictographic-history-of-the-oglala-sioux","price":380.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/9756\/2453\/files\/Pictograph-1-web__44171.1661105427.1280.1280.jpg?v=1770209718"},{"product_id":"all-products-out-of-print-book-dog-soldiers-bear-men-and-buffalo-women-autographed-inscribed","title":"Out of Print Book - Dog Soldiers, Bear Men and Buffalo Women (autographed \u0026 inscribed)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remarque Edition (1973), hardcover w\/ dust jacket, includes remarque and inscription by author, 384 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e The book is in fair condition with wear and tear as well as aging on the outside dust jacket.
