Undaunted Courage

$16.00 (Paperback)

"Undaunted Courage is a work of love: rhapsodic and heroic."

-DAVID M. SHRIBMAN, The Wall Street Journal

In this sweeping adventure story, Stephen E. Ambrose, the bestselling author of DDay, presents the definitive account of one of the most momentous journeys in American history. Ambrose follows the Lewis and Clark Expedition from Thomas Jefferson's hope of finding a waterway to the Pacific, through the heart-stopping moments of the actual trip, to Lewis's lonely demise on the Natchez Trace. Along the way, Ambrose shows us the American West as Lewis saw it-wild, awesome, and pristinely beautiful. Undaunted Courage is a stunningly told action tale that will delight readers for generations.( ISBN 0-684-82697-6)

The Sioux of the Rosebud

$24.95 (Paperback)

"Interesting, informative, and , valuable for understanding Sioux culture, this addition to the University of Oklahoma Press American Indian Series is a handsome example of the bookmaker's art."-Great Plains Journal.

"From 1891 until 1948 when he died, John A. Anderson lived on the Rosebud, recording the daily lives and activities of the Indians as they painfully adjusted to an agricultural existence. . . . Anderson not only captured scenes which documented the ordinary chores of farming, ranching, and butchering, he showed much of the Rosebud landscape, many famous Indians, and photographed the unusual White Buffalo, Sun, and Omaha dance ceremonies. . . . The Hamiltons have not only, brought together the greatest single collection of Anderson’s photographs, their painstaking captions and narrative form a remarkable history of the early 'civilization' of the Brulé Sioux. . . . A must for any serious student of the American Indian."American Book Collector. (ISBN 0-8061-1622-6)

E. C. Abbott was a cowboy in the great days of the 1870's and 1880's. He came up the trail to Montana from Texas with the long-horned herds which were to stock the northern ranges; he punched cows in Montana when there wasn't a fence in the territory; and he married a daughter of Granville Stuart, the famous early-day stockman and Montana pioneer. For more than fifty years he was known to cowmen from Texas to Alberta as "Teddy Blue."
