2431X1 Seventh Bison Books Printing. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 1966. 303 pages. Softcover. Good condition. A lyric salute to the earth and sky and people who made the history of the Great Plains by the region's incomparabl historian, Mari Sandoz. It is a story of men and women of many hues - courageous, violent, indomitable, foolish - their legnds, failures, and achievements: of explorers and fur trappers and missionaries; of soldiers and army posts and Indian fighting; of California-bound emigrants who stopped off to become settlers; of cattlemen and bad men, boomers and land speculators, and their feuds and rivalries. Above all, this is a portrait of the true Plainsman, the man or woman who can stand to have the horizon far off and every day, every year, a gamble. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0803251726 $9.90USD
