ABOUT THIS BOOK: The history of. the West is revealed in the accomplishments of James Wells (1840-1885). James A. Franks describes the life of this Pony Express rider, stagecoach driver and fur trapper who married a Gros Ventre Indian woman and who became immersed in the customs of her tribe. Running trading posts, making a cattle drive from Texas, founding an important ranch on the Judith River, Wells had great insight into the future of Montana, though he could not have predicted the unjust treatment his Indian wife and children would receive after his death.
