Down the Yellowstone

Lewis Ransome Freeman was an American explorer, journalist, and war correspondent who wrote over twenty books chronicling his many travels, as well as numerous articles. Down the Yellowstone chronicles the author's experiences on the Yellowstone River during various seasons. On his journeys, Freeman meets a panoply of fascinating early West characters, including the famous Calamity Jane, to whom he devotes a whole chapter. Down the Yellowstone is a delightful and entertaining story about floating down the Yellowstone, Missouri, and Mississippi rivers from Yellowstone National Park to New Orleans, Louisiana.
