The first volume in this two-volume edition of "A Cycle of the
West" includes "The Song of Three Friends "(1919), which received
the National Prize of the Poetry Society of America, "The Song of
Jed Smith" (1941). The first two songs, in the poet's words, "deal
with the ascent of the river and characteristic adventures of
Ashley-Henry men in the country of the upper Missouri and the
Yellowstone. "The Song of Jed Smith" follows the first band of
Americans through South Pass to the Great Salt Lake, the first band
of Americans to reach Spanish California by an overland trail."
Regarded by many as Dr. Neihardt's masterwork, the cycle as a whole
"celebrates the great mood of courage that was developed west of
the Missouri River in the nineteenth-century."
