Description

Life Wild and Perilous, A. Mountain Men and the Paths to the Pacific. Mr. Utley, a former chief historian of the National Park Service, knows his terrain firsthand. He captures the adventures of the first white men to explore the Rocky Mountain West. Over the first half of the 19th century a vast amount of information on the geography of the West was collected; trails across the high plains, the Rockies, the Great Basin, and the Sierra that would eventually bring Anglo settlers across the Mississippi into newly conquered territories. The book is illustrated with black-and-white drawings and maps and sixteen pages of full-color relief maps made by Peter Dana of the University of Texas. 392/Hardcover/Tan/Jacket is tan with illustration of men riding on horseback/Illustrations/Maps
