Jesse Chisholm: Ambassador of the Plains
ISBN: 9780806136882 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Drawing from many sources, including early state and federal documents, newspaper accounts, and trade and military records, Stan Hoig offers the clearest picture...
