{"product_id":"let-the-mountains-remember-9780692267448","title":"Let the Mountains Remember","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe mountains and prairies remember Eastern Oregons tumultuous beginnings  but history does not. Apart from the rush for gold  little has been written about the events leading to the settlement of Eastern Oregon between 1861 and 1869. Charged with protecting travel on the roads leading to the mines east of the Cascade Mountains  the military campaign which initially promised to be not much more than a policing operation against an unorganized tribe of hunters and gatherers turned into an eight-year struggle against a skillful and relentless foe. Based almost entirely on primary sources  Let the Mountains Remember concentrates on the soldiers  their garrison  and the reactions of the white newcomers who tried to settle in the ancestral lands of the Northern Paiute. Woven into the action are the soldiers stories before  during  and after their duty in the remote high deserts and mountains of Eastern Oregon. Previously unpublished material provides valuable information for researchers and the clear  informative text will hold the interest of students  casual historians  genealogists  and travelers interested in the history of the American West.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652313899061,"sku":"ByrdShop_0692267441","price":281.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780692267448.jpg?v=1781851099","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/let-the-mountains-remember-9780692267448","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
