Between 1863 and 1892  he fought in the Civil War  participated in every major Indian battle in Montana Territory  and led the first scientific reconnaissance into the Yellowstone countryhis report on that expedition even contributed to the establishment of Yellowstone National Park. Doane was always close to being at the right place at the right time to secure lasting fame  yet that fame always eluded him  even after his death. Kim Allen Scott rescues Doane from obscurity to tell the tale of an educated and inventive man who strove in vain for recognition throughout his life. Yellowstone Denied is a psychological portrait of a complex and intriguing individual. During his thirty years in uniform  Doane nearly achieved the celebrity he sought  but twists of fate and  at times  his own questionable behavior denied it in the end. Scotts critical biography now examines the mans accomplishments and failures alike  and traces the frustrated efforts of Doanes widow to see her husband properly enshrined in history. Yellowstone Denied is also a revealing look at military culture  scientific discovery  and western expansion  and it gives Doane the credit long denied him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948056866869,"sku":"ByrdShop_0806138009","price":92.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780806138008.jpg?v=1770035699","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/yellowstone-denied-the-life-of-gustavus-cheyney-doane","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
