About This Item

Norman, Oklahoma, U.S.A.: University of Oklahoma Press, 1987. Ninth Printing . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 4 3/4" x 7 1/2. 298 Pages. No marks noted. This book is Volume 5 in The Western Frontier Library and is a reprint of the original 1850 edition. ln 1846 young Lewis H. Garrard traveled into the wild Rocky Mountain West and left this fresh and vigorous account, which A. B. Guthrie, Jr. said contains the genuine article -- the Indian, the trader, the mountain man, their dress and behavior and speech and the country and climate they lived in. Into the adventure come such great names as Kit Carson, Lucien Maxwell, Narcisse Beaubien, and Jim Beckwourth. The general reader will relish the chapter entitled Wah-to-yah, the Indian name for the Twin Spanish Peaks, which dominate the landscape north of Raton Pass. This deals not with the majestic mountains themselves but with the imagined regions beneath where the garrulous John Hatcher met the Devil which must be the most hilarious tale of all.
