Description
The classic account and history of the Taos Revolt and the Cheyenne Indians. In the bright morning of his youth, Lewis H. Garrard traveled into the wild and free Rocky Mountain West and left us this fresh and vigorous account, which, says A. B. Guthrie Jr., contains in its pages "the genuine article--the Indian, the trader, the mountain man, theirdress, and behavior and speech and the country and climate they lived in.
