The conquest of the Missouri; being the story of the life and exploits of Captain Grant Marsh

Hanson, Joseph Mills, b. 1876 · 1909 · Chicago, A.C. McClurg & Co. · 33 pictures

A 1909 Chicago biography by Joseph Mills Hanson, published by A.C. McClurg & Co., recounting steamboat captain Grant Marsh's career on the Missouri River alongside Civil War and Dakota frontier campaigns, written for general readers. Illustrations are coarse-screen halftones of frontier photographs, several credited to S. J. Morrow and printed sideways, showing cavalry columns, wagon trains, tent camps and low prairie horizons — useful as grainy grey-toned texture, long thin panoramic bands, and small silhouetted figure rows.
