Synopsis
A veritable "Who's Who" of the American West, this epic historical narrative explores the life and times of one of the West's greatest and yet unsung heroes. Part Cherokee, and speaking 16 Native American dialects, Jesse Chisholm was the Henry Kissenger of the American Southwest before the individual states were established. Illustrated by Cushman's son, Russell Cushman's colorful cover painting of the historic opening ceremonies of the Medicine Lodge Treaty indicate the richness and depth inside. Beautifully illustrated, the book offers behind the scene explanations to Native American negotiations and the formation of Texas and the Southwest.
