The Missouri was the river of Lewis and Clark, of Manuel Lisa,
General Ashley, and other organizers of the fur trade; of such
noted travelers as George Catlin, Henry R. Schoolcraft, and Prince
Maximilian; of a host of adventurous steamboat captains; of
explorers like Jedediah Smith, Kit Carson, and Fremont; of doughty
hunters and trappers like Hugh Glass, Jim Bridger, and John Colter.
Stanley Vestal's rollicking story of one of America's most fabled
waterways presents western history on a grand scale, one that.
according to the New York Times, "anyone remotely interested in the
American West will read." "Vestal takes the Big Muddy as the
central character in an intriguing story. . . . It is always
readable, always informative."-Los Angeles Times
