Vanguards of the Frontier: A Social History of the Northern Plains and Rocky Mountains from the Fur Traders to the Sod Busters by Everett Dick

Readers who are familiar with the author's earlier book, The Sod-House Frontier, will welcome this very attractive volume dealing with the various types of people who traversed or occupied the Northern Plains and Rocky Mountains prior to the coming of actual settlers. Beginning with an account of the great fur companies, this book continues with chapters devoted to such frontier types as the mountain men, frontier soldiers, missionaries, Indian agents, railroad builders, buffalo hunters, cattlemen, and some others. Additional chapters deal with the Santa Fe trade, and Mormon migration, the mining camps, stagecoach travel, trail driving, and sheep growing. . . . In the opinion of the reviewer this is one of the best books on the West that has appeared in recent years. . . . It is one of those all too rare books which both the specialist in the field of western history and the average citizen may read and study with pleasure and profit.

Book is in good condition. Great binding, no loose pages. Soft cover shows some signs of shelf wear, See scans above.
