Adventures in the West: Henry Halpin, Fur Trader and Indian Agent - Elliott, David R.

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to bottom inside corner; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; Halpin was catapulted onto the historical stage in1885, being captured by rebel Cree and serving as a secretary/negotiator for Big Bear, the non-rebel Cree chief at the siege of Fort Pitt. Born into a family of journalists, he was a great storyteller and astute observer. His memoirs of a life in the fur trade and of his captivity, combined with his correspondence and annual reports to the Department of Indian Affairs, offer a rare glimpse of life during these turbulent times of change in the West.
