Gloomy Terrors and Hidden Fires: The Mystery of John Colter and Yellowstone by Ronald M. Anglin and Larry E. Morris

Who is John Corte? From 1803 to 1806, he was a member of Louis and Clark walking the mainland, and they often discovered that it would be a Yellowstone National Park (it was found that Native Americans had their feet in volcanic areas It seems that you have never stepped into). He alone entered into the Big Horn sheep, the Yellowstone River and the Valley of the Snake River, entered the beaver, and had no profit to pay all the time. He led a large number of catchers to the same area, and they failed to regain many furs; some lost their lives. He was the subject of many legendary frontiers of the popular frontier in the early 19th century, especially since he avoided the story that he was killed by a black foot warrior. He is an important witness to the exploration of the western United States, but he has not left his own remarks. Eight figures that William Clark drew on the map still exist, and still mean controversy. In short, Corte is a mystery based on Ronald M. Anglin and Larry E. Morris's "Dark Horror and Hidden Fire: The Mystery of John Corte and Yellowstone".

I was attracted to this book. Because I went to the Yellowstone park and mentioned the name of Corte with the books of the history committee and bookstore of many visitor centers. I can only wonder how it feels to explore such wild and cruel places by myself. As Corte did not tell anyone, the author of this book did not tell me. However, the author tempted me to think about the mystery of those who did not record the journal of Lewis and Clark and the salary before.

If you read this book and choose to learn about the first contact between the indigenous tribe and the frontier, please get a good map of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho for reference. Then I was lost in a story that I can not imagine. Then read Dread Scott: Lee Vanderverde's "Border Life of Slavery" in Another Life, who imagines more than Louis and Clark imagined, the most adventurous of Louis, Clark, Corte's adventure Learn more about the tip

Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the Korter story is that in the winter of 1808, he had advanced independently into the area now known as the Yellowstone National Park. So he first encountered a wonderful geothermal activity in this area. Bubble mud pot, a huge explosive geyser. When he returned, nobody believed his wonderful story of destroying sulfuric soil - so the area was known as a ridicule of the trap of Corte's hell for years. But the truth is that although the captor has a place called Corte Hell, it is situated outside the 50 miles of the Yellowstone, just west of the Cody in Wyoming where geothermal activity is slightly noticeable. The confusion can be traced back to the confusing passage of Yellowstone National Park written by Hiram M. Chittenden in 1895. Chittenden later revised this part, but it is difficult to eliminate this myth.
