Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Passing of the Old West The cook fires from five thousand lodges spread their thin film of smoke above the broad valley of the Musselshell. Upstream, straggling irregularly along the base of the hills that flanked the far side of the bottoms, the teepees which sheltered all that was left of the mighty tribe of Crows showed in miniature through the clear air of the hill country. A like distance downstream, appearing as but a tiny toy encampment, even streets and regularly spaced tents marked the temporary abode of the soldiery. A half-mile back from one shore a thousand mounted warriors, the pick of a fighting nation, injected into the picture an element of constant motion and clashing hues as the fretful war ponies milled and shifted, the glittering lances and gaudy headdress of their riders weaving ever new and colorful patterns against the green background of the hills.
