About this book
Colter's Hell and Jackson's Hole is by Merrill J. Mattes. The text says the mighty Yellowstone River, after passing through its vast mirror-like lake and its prismatic canyon, flows out onto the plains to receive the Bighorn and join the Missouri. The text says the Grand Teton rises over 7,000 feet from its immediate base, nearly 14,000 feet above the level of the distant sea.
The text says that Fitzpatrick was ambushed by or stumbled upon the hostile Gros Ventres and, by sacrificing his horse and secreting himself in a hole in the rocks, managed to elude them but nearly starved while wandering through the wilderness. The text says that, their search being unrewarded, fifteen of the party deserted at Jackson Lake, the others deciding to push north. The text says DeLacy's discoveries were incorporated in his Map of the Territory of Montana.
