Frontier soldier and explorer extraordinaire, Gustavus Cheyney Doane was no stranger to historical events. 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 country. His 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 offer a psychological portrait of a complex and intriguing individual, an educated and inventive man who strove in vain for recognition throughout his life. Yellowstone Denied is also a revealing look at military culture, scientific discovery, and western expansion, and it gives Doane the credit long denied him. "An exceptionally well-written biography." - Jerome A. Greene, author of Yellowstone Command: Colonel Nelson A. Miles and the Great Sioux War, 1876-1877 "An absorbing portrait of one of the more intriguing figures of the American West." - Paul Schullery, author of Searching for Yellowstone: Ecology and Wonder in the Last Wilderness "An inspirational, revealing survey." - Midwest Book Review Kim Allen Scott is Professor and Special Collections Librarian/University Archivist at Montana State University, Bozeman. His numerous articles on Yellowstone National Park, Montana history, and the Civil War have appeared in Montana The Magazine of Western History, Arkansas Historical Quarterly, Kansas History, and Missouri Historical Review.
