By the eighteen-thirties (the period of this history), the French and Spanish empires were dead and the fight had narrowed down to Great Britain and the United States. In \"ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI,\" Bernard DeVoto shows the decisive actions - from Astoria, through the Hudson's Bay Company advance, the coming of the missionaries - by which the United States won the empire of the West. This is the story of the mountain men in the climatic years 1833-38, with special focus on the expedition headed by a Scottish sportsman, William Drummond Stewart, who had the foresight to take with him a talented young artist, Alfred Jacob Miller - and who thereby brought back a unique pictorial history of the early West.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prairie Edge ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42124078153813,"sku":"OOP-MM,DEVOTO-across-the-wide-missouri","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/9756\/2453\/files\/oop-across-the-wide-missouri-lg__60623.1530235879.1280.1280.jpg?v=1770195227"},{"product_id":"all-products-neither-wolf-nor-dog-on-forgotten-roads-with-an-indian-elder-25th-anniversary-edition","title":"Neither Wolf Nor Dog: On Forgotten Roads With an Indian Elder (25th Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgainst the backdrop of contemporary reservation life and the majestic spaces of the western Dakotas, Neither Wolf Nor Dog tells the story of two men, one white and one Indian, locked in their own understandings yet struggling to find a common voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this winner of the \u003cem\u003e1996 Minnesota Book Award\u003c\/em\u003e, acclaimed author Kent Nerburn draws us into the world of a Native American elder named Dan, who leads Kent through Indian towns and down forgotten roads that swirl with the memories of the Ghost Dance and Sitting Bull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the way we meet a vivid cast of characters - ranging from Jumbo, a 400 pound mechanic, to Annie, an eighty year old Lakota woman living in a cabin with no running water.

Based on years of research and startling new evidence, the book is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. But more than that, it is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward American Indians that allowed the murderers to operate with impunity for so long. Killers of the Flower Moon is utterly compelling, but also emotionally devastating. Review by Kevin Alleger: Killers of the Flower Moon – The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, by David Grann, is a terrifying account of how white entitlement over the riches of the American land ruined countless innocent lives within the Osage tribe of Oklahoma. At the beginning of the 20th Century, the federal government forcibly moved the Osage tribe from their original land in and around Arkansas, to reservation land in Oklahoma. This was no place for ‘decent’ white settlers. The arid and rugged terrain of Oklahoma, not suitable for any sustainable farming, was thought to be the ideal area for the government to put the dangerous and savage Osage people. What the government nor the white people didn’t know was that the reservation land that was allotted to the Osage tribe was vastly rich in oil reserves. And since this land was deemed rightfully tribal land, the Osage people became the richest people in the United States. (To this day, although not as rich as they were at the beginning of the century, members of the Osage tribe continue to receive royalties from allotments in oil reserves in their name.) I don’t want to into any detail, as this book is a true-to-life mystery story, where the villains are ‘hidden in plain sight’ and are surprisingly revealed. The narrative focuses on several murders, particularly within one Osage family. What happens to these victims is motivated by baseless and despicable inhumane desires. The local law enforcement, going nowhere in solving the case, recruits the help of the federal government. Led by J. Edgar Hoover, a new group of law enforcement agents is recruited to assist in solving the crimes. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (the FBI) is the result of these investigations.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prairie Edge ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42124086575189,"sku":"b03,GRANN-killers-of-the-flower-moon-9780385534246","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/9756\/2453\/files\/flowermoon-web__05505.1530235820.1280.1280.jpg?v=1770195690"},{"product_id":"all-products-books-music-from-fort-laramie-to-wounded-knee-book","title":"From Fort Laramie to Wounded Knee - Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Allen's work is a lively account of his life and contemporary events from early years in Dakota Territory during the 1870's to the tragic day at Wounded Knee.
