Charles Bodmer and Gaorge Catlin,

Across the Wide Missouri - with an account of the discovery of the Miller Collection by Mae Reed Porter.

NY, Bonanza Books, (1957). 2nd prntg. G HB in G DJ. Dedicated to Garrett Mattingly Historian of Rennaissance England who has been working in the Rocky Mountains for a long time. Preface book deals with the Rocky Mountain fur trade during the years of its climax and decline. "I have tried to wrie a comprehensive history since 1902 when General Hiram M. Chitenden published "The American Fur Trade of the Far West, most single took about the trade and the only general history of it, as a business and way of life, what its characteristic experiences were what conditions goveerned them, how it helped to shape our heritage, what its relation was to the western expansion of the United States, most of all how the mountain men lived, with picures of greata istorical imporatance, Alfred Jacob Miller of Baltimore. The only paintings ever made of the Rocky Mountains, the scenery along the trail to Oregon and the Westernmenot Plains Indians, most of them here published for the first time. Some years ago Mrs. Clyde Porter of Kansas City became interested in the then alsmost unknown paintingsw of Miller. Realizing their unique imporatance, she determined to rescue Miller from obscurity and secure for them the place in our own, spell their names or those of their companions they guide by; fewer cared. So prominent a partisan as Andrew Drois signed his name in two ways and is carried in two ways and is carried on the book os the American Fur Company under both spellings. I have used the spellings of Indian plurals their guild oaths impose." Tape to front and back dj, owner stamp fep.
