Download or read book Legend Life and Adventures of Frank Grouard Expanded Annotated written by Frank Grouard and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 1958 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That Frank Grouard was an important figure in the history of the Indian wars of the Great Plains is beyond any doubt. Nor can there be the slightest doubt of Grouard's position among his fellows, including General George Crook, George Armstrong Custer, and Chicago Times correspondent, John Finerty. Six feet tall and 200 pounds of muscle, Grouard (also spelled Gruard) was well acquainted with Indian life. He knew Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, and most of the Native American leaders. Having been captured by the Sioux, he spent years with them learning their language and ways, becoming accepted as one of their own. Returning to white society, he put what he knew to use as one of the greatest army scouts of the Old West. In the Great Sioux War of 1876, he was a scout for General Crook's Big Horn and Yellowstone Expedition that was supposed to unite with Custer's Seventh Cavalry to bring the Sioux and Cheyenne into reservations. Grouard fought with Crook at the Battle of the Rosebud just eight days before Custer was wiped out by the same Indians under Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. By the time this book was written in 1894, Grouard was known all over the country. His exciting accounts of Indian life and the Indian Wars is a seminal contribution to our knowledge of the period.

Download or read book Missouri written by Lucien Carr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missouri: A Bone of Contention Although the F ranch were the first to explore the Mississippi, to map out its course, and to establish per manent settlements upon its banks, they were not its discoverers neither were they the first to float upon its waters. That honor, if the term can be applied to What was but a lucky incident in a mad search after gold, be longs to the Spaniards, and is usually ascribed to Her nando de_ Soto, though upon what are believed to be insufficient grounds. Without stopping, however, to discuss the point, it is sufficient to say that almost a cen tury and a half before the French explorers launched their frail canoes upon the stream, he stood upon its banks; and whilst it is not possible to make out, with any degree of accuracy, the itinerary of his journey, there is but little hazard in asserting that the spot from which he first gazed upon its turbid waters must have been at or near the place where the city of Memphis now stands. Whether in the course of his wanderings he reached the confines of what is now known as the State of Mis souri is a question that cannot be definitively settled.
