| Abstract
|
:
|
"Frontier soldier and explorer extraordinaire, Gustavus Cheyney Doane was no stranger to historical events. Between 1863 and 1892, he fought in the Civil War, participated in every major Indian battle in Montana Territory, and led the first scientific reconnaissance into the Yellowstone country. He was always close to being at the right place at the right time to secure lasting fame, yet that fame eluded him, even after his death. Finally, Kim Allen Scott rescues Doane from obscurity to tell the tale of an educated and inventive man who strove in vain for recognition throughout his life. Yellowstone Denied is a psychological portrait of a complex and intriguing individual. It is also a revealing look at military culture, scientific discovery, and western expansion."--Jacket.
