Title: Life in the Far West Among the Indians and the Mountain Men 1846 - 1847 Author: George F. Ruxton Extract from Publisher's Preface: For some 20 years now, we have been reading literally hundreds of source books of American history - great books full of the vitality and vigor of yesterday's great Americans. All too frequently, lately, we find ourselves comparing the men who discovered, explored and developed this great country with what passes for some American "men" today, and it makes us sick to the stomach. Condition: The book has cream boards and green lettering to the spine. The book has no dust jacket. Top and tail of spine have bumping. There is a price sticker on the lower outer corner of the front pastedown. Foxing stains to front and rear pastedowns and endpapers. There is a map enclosed on the front endpaper.
