I have nits to pick with the author about his treatment of Jedediah Smith and other trappers that he was quite hard on, but overall this book is great.
Stumbled on this book at a book sale, along with his Time-Life "Great Chiefs" book, at a time I wanted to read some basic history about Native Americans. It was interesting w/ good photos & graphics,
