THE STORY OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS

By

Pub Date: April 15th, 1969
Publisher: Hawthorn

The origins--in Indian legend and geologic time; the inhabitants--Indians, white men (trappers, missionaries, miners, settlers), plants and animals; the wealth of natural resources-- some extracted, some preserved in national parks. Despite such likely likeables as the trappers, the book is quite bland and the photographs don't perk it up.
