3 comments about The Plainsmen of the Yellowstone: A history of the Yellowstone basin (A Bison book).
- As a museum director in Livingston, Montana, and teacher of a class on the history of the Yellowstone basin, this book is my foremost recommendation as an introductory survey to the breadth and depth of the regions history. Material covers only the "White European" history of the area with the early la Verendrye and Lewis and Clark explorations. Then there is the fur trade, Bozeman and Bridger Trails, Northern Pacific Railroad surveys, Sioux Wars including the Battle of Little Big Horn, founding of Yellowstone Park, early settlement, cattle industry and rustling including the Johnston County Wars developments and the demise of the Native way of life and open country, all of which are enticingly explored.
Numerous characters of intrigue are mentioned. There is a mention of contributing works at the end. Drawn maps are helpful for orientation. The one criticism is that the book has no footnotes. Also, some very significant books have recently been published that cover smaller areas of the story in greater depth. Several are: Jay Cook's Gamble by Lubetkin, Calamity Jane by McLaird, The Lance and the Shield by Utley and Frederick Billings by Winks.
Again, it is a great starting point and highly recommended!!
- This is one of the best books I have read on the history of the Yellowstone basin. My interest in this area is fanned by the fact that my great grandfather was a mining engineer and Sherrif at Virginia City, MT prior to the turn of the Century.
- this is a must read for anyone who is going to travel to South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, etc.
