It's 1806 and mountain man John Colter is ready to leave the Lewis and Clark Expedition. When two fur trappers come upriver, he has his chance. The men seek their fortune trapping beaver and move into the upper reaches of the Yellowstone River. What Colter doesn't know, however, is that his two companions harbor a dark secret, one involving the very Indian tribes surrounding them in the vast wilderness. That secret will turn the hunter into the hunted.

John Colter was a crack hunter with the Lewis and Clark expedition before striking out on his own as a mountain man and fur trader. A solitary journey in the winter of 1807-8 took him into present-day Wyoming. To unbelieving trappers he later reported sights that inspired the name of Colter's Hell. It was a sulfurous place of hidden fires, smoking pits, and shooting water. And it was real. John Colter is known to history as probably the first white man to discover the region that now includes Yellowstone National Park. In a classic book, first published in 1952, Burton Harris weighs the facts and legends about a man who was dogged by misfortune and "robbed of the just rewards he had earned." This Bison Book edition includes a 1977 addendum by the author and a new introduction by David Lavender, who considers Colter's remarkable winter journey in the light of current scholarship.

“If you seek vicarious adventure, these pages await the armchair explorer.” —Providence Journal In 1804, John Colter set out with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on the first US expedition to traverse the North American continent. During the 28- month ordeal, Colter served as a hunter and scout, and honed his survival skills on the western frontier. But when the journey was over, Colter stayed behind. He spent two more years trekking alone through dangerous and unfamiliar territory, charting some of the West’s most treasured landmarks. Historian David W. Marshall crafts this captivating history from Colter’s primary sources, and has retraced Colter’s steps— experiencing firsthand how he survived in the wilderness (how he pitched a shelter, built a fire, followed a trail, and forded a stream)— adding a powerful layer of authority and detail.

The New York Times bestselling author of Texas Bride evokes the grandeur, excitement, and danger of the American frontier in this “sprawling, sensuous” (Booklist) historical novel. When Kinyan Holloway’s husband is killed in a range accident, she has no idea how she and her children will manage. Torn between the Sioux world in which she was raised and maintaining her husband’s ranch—the largest in the Wyoming Territory—she knows only that she must not just survive but preserve her children’s heritage for them. Into her life rides Benjamin Colter, a scarred stranger who’s fast with his gun. Colter has tried to put vengeance behind him, but the past seems destined to catch up with him. What he wants now is Kinyan Holloway—and her ranch—but he can get them only if he defeats a deadly rival and agrees to become a father to three children who want more from him than he’s able to give.
