Förlagets beskrivning
"e;...more romance, tragedy and vigorous life than many a city a hundred times its size and ten times its age."e; - Historian Hiram M. Chittenden Deep in the heart of Blackfoot country on the Upper Missouri River, trade relations opened cautiously in 1831. A series of trading posts and clashes followed. By 1846, Fort Benton had become the center of commerce with Indigenous tribes, including the Blackfoot who dubbed it "e;many houses to the South."e; Drawing settlers from eastern states, the head of steamboat navigation became known as "e;the world's innermost port."e; As a result, the fort became a multicultural melting pot and home to the "e;Bloodiest Block in the West."e; Award-winning historian Ken Robison brings to life dramatic sagas of a rapidly developing frontier, from vigilante X. Beidler to the Marias and Ophir Massacres
