{"product_id":"john-colter-his-years-in-the-rockies-9780803272644","title":"John Colter: His Years in the Rockies","description":"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. \u003cp\u003eThis 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-144681\"\u003eBurton Harris\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803272644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803272642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Lavender is the author of \u003ci\u003eBent's Fort\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOne Man's West\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWestward Vision: The Story of the Oregon Trail\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCalifornia: Land of New Beginnings\u003c\/i\u003e, also available as Bison Books.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43833064521867,"sku":"9780803272644","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_83a11787-6047-4c8b-9045-6398be889ce8.jpg?v=1755629892","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/john-colter-his-years-in-the-rockies-9780803272644","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
