Great History from "another point of view"
In reading the life story of Joseph Walker by Gilbert, it was great to read the "other half" of the story by yet another historian such as Irving. A great read that helps to answer questions left unanswered in the book on Joseph Walker's life story. A truly great book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Stick to childrens books
This famous author bought the notes from Bonneville and put East Coast Indian tribes in Wyoming. It is full of errors and is unreadable if you are from this area. What a joke.
