Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition. First Separate Printing. Printed Wrappers. 54pp. Missouri Historical Society. Volume V. January-March. Numbers 1-3. Glimpses Of The Past. Edited by Stella Drumm. Edward Rose was one of the most famous among the Mountain Men. Son of a white man and a Cherokee-Negro woman, Rose first went west with Manuel Lisa in 18…07, helped build the fort on the Big Horn, and was sent to winter with the Crows. He became very influential among the Crows, living with them and fighting for them, his influence with them was strong. Rose quickly developed a bad reputation with many in the fur trade business, but he was opportunistic, and he knew how to leverage his relationship with the Crows, and also with the Arikaras to court favor with Colonel Leavenworth and General Atkinson. The Five Scalps tells the story of his colorful career in the American West. The story "The Five Scalps", was first published about 1828 in the St. Louis Beacon, and later in the Weekly Reveille, July 17 and 24, 1848. Col. Charles Keemle, editor of each paper on the respective dates when the story appeared, was a fur trader, and was well acquainted with Edward Rose. Light general soiling to the fragile white wrappers and 1" x .5" piece missing near upper spine on front wrapper. Very Good.
