Book
The American west / Dee Brown ; photos edited by Martin F. Schmitt.
Fully illustrated, this epic narrative brings to life the American West during the exciting years from 1840 to the turn of the century. Interweaving the stories of Native Americans, ranchers, and settlers, Brown re-creates the triumphs and the tragedies of the times. Sharply drawn profiles focus on Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett, Wyapp Earp, and others.
