John Colter: His Years in the Rockies

As a member of the Corps of Discovery, John Colter was known best for his expert hunting skills. Colter is one of the few members of the expedition whose fame goes beyond the story of the famous trek into the unknown west. He is known to history as probably the first white man to discover the region that now includes Yellowstone National Park. In a classic book, first published in 1952, Burton Harris weighs the facts and legends about a man who was dogged by misfortune and “robbed of the just rewards he had earned.” Introduction by David Lavender Paperback, 180 pages
