Synopsis: ‘In the narrative of “Yellowstone Kelly” we have a rare story of adventure and service. General Miles, who knew him long and intimately, fitly compares him with such heroes of the American wilderness as Daniel Boone and David Crocket...His story is at once an important contribution to the history of the western frontier in the decades to which it pertains and a thrilling tale of sustained adventure’ - M. M. Quaife.‘What old ‘Yellowstone’ has to say is extremely interesting, and he tells it in simple, straightforward fashion, with a wealth of absorbing detail’ - “New York Times”. ‘Mr. Kelly writes not as a novelist, but as a historian, and his work is rich in the best qualities of both’ - “Outlook”.‘His memoirs [are] written with a rare skill in narration...It is a part of the story of the West and particularly of the Yellowstone region that we could ill afford to lose’ - “Review of Reviews”.‘Here is history in a most entertaining form’ - “Boston Transcript”.
