Original stories of mountain men between 1833 and 1837 traveling from the Missouri River, through the plains and Rocky Mountains, to the Pacific and back, with all the different Indians and Indian wars they observed from the opposite point of view - from Indians themselves, like Zitkala-Sa, in American Indian Stories and Old Indian Legends.
