I have had the good sense not to read anything else by him since, till I read this book, which was published in 1945. It is also VERY POOR. He no doubt was asked to write a book on the Missouri, and just threw stuff together. Full of uninteresting generalizations, poorly organized. Nothing good can be said of the book. In addition, Sioux City is so little mentioned that it does not even make the index, though he does have a paragraph on the Floyd Monument and describes it as "one of the show places of Sioux City." But the book was a waste of time. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The Missouri was the river of Lewis and Clark, of Manuel Lisa, General Ashley, and other organizers of the fur trade; of such noted travelers as George Catlin, Henry R. Schoolcraft, and Prince Maximilian; of a host of adventurous steamboat captains; of explorers like Jedediah Smith, Kit Carson, and Fr mont; of doughty hunters and trappers like Hugh Glass, Jim Bridger, and John Colter. Stanley Vestal's rollicking story of one of America's most fabled waterways presents western history on a grand scale, one that. according to the New York Times, "anyone remotely interested in the American West will read." "Vestal takes the Big Muddy as the central character in an intriguing story. . . . It is always readable, always informative."--Los Angeles Times No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
