Prodgers is a historian who has spent years researching the life of frontiersman Smith, and she has revised this edition of his memoirs to include new research that has surfaced on the life of "Yellowstone Vic." Using archival information and a memoir that was discovered at Harvard U.'s Houghton Library in 1990, Prodgers has also included maps and a chronology to enhance Smith's adventures as a buffalo hunter, scout and smuggler. History buffs will still enjoy Smith's original text, especially his insights into life among Indians and encounters with such historical figures as Sitting Bull, Teddy Roosevelt and Chief Joseph.
