E14 - Prepared: Civilian and Military Guidance 1859

from While Buffalo Roamed: The Wild West History of Colorado · host Jonathan Summer Publishing

How to Survive the Plains - Tribal Stories from Captain - Randolph Marcy (cover art) - The Prairie Traveler 1959 - Guns and Equipment - Native American Black Beaver - Rattlesnake Bit and Remedy? - Blackfeet Tribe - Denver and Auraria - William N. Byers Two interesting guide books, one civilian and one military prove valuable sources for firsthand intelligence regarding heading west in 1859. William Byers (future editor of the Rocky Mountain News) and General Marcy, Army western explorer both publish wonderful accounts that shed light on the character of the old west, the wild western frontier. Native American stories by Marcy included. The pure dope, not a doctor's version of it. HI, JB
