BUCKSKINS AND BUFFALO: The Story of the Yellowstone River

by Marian T. Place ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 12, 1964

Those who have seen the wilderness of Yellowstone National Park may enjoy this historical tour of the territory. The Yellowstone River figures in American history as a part of the exploration of Lewis and Clark and of John Colter; as an area of extended conflict between the Crow Indians and the White settlers including the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and as the site of one of our most popular national parks. This is an interesting view of an important part of frontier history, watered down by the lengthy, ecstatic descriptions of the scenery.
