Buffalo Palace (2010)
“Leaving the upper Bighorn River country, they first had to push due north past a small range of low mountains, then cross the several forks of a creek system* before they could finally begin to angle off to the west.
The chill, early-spring wind had grown strong and blustery by the time Silas Cooper’s ragtag band struck the valley of the upper Yellowstone—a wind that knifed itself right into their faces and sank all the way to a man’s marrow as the horses and mules plodded west, step by step, d...ay after day. Beside the gently meandering river they made their camp each night, then marched on come morning. The four of them made quite an impressive outfit, what with all the animals they had loosely lashed together traipsing along behind the trappers—in and out and around the groves of stately old cottonwood and those mazelike copses of willow, chokecherry, and alder where the deer burst from cover, spooking the antelope into turning and bounding off across the open bottoms. Farther up on the slopes of the nearby hills the elk grazed and watched, seemingly unperturbed by the passing of so many four-leggeds.MoreLess
