Heeb, Christian/Jeier, Thomas Auf Indianerpfaden durch den Westen der USA

On historic trails through the most beautiful and fascinating landscapes of the American West: the Rocky Mountains with their snow-capped peaks, deep canyons and dense forests, the High Plains with their seemingly endless plains and wide skies, the Southwest with its reddish-brown rocks and its cactus deserts. Photographed by Christian Heeb and described by Thomas Jeier, both proven experts on the culture and history of the North American Indians and who have been travelling these trails for many years.

On Indian Trails through the West of the USA: an adventurous journey on historical tracks that once again brings the eventful past of the American pioneer era to life. With Sacajawea, the brave Shoshone Indian, through the Rocky Mountains. It was only thanks to their prudence and knowledge of the language that the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were not killed by hostile Indians on their long journey to the Pacific between 1803 and 1805. With Chief Joseph and his Nez Perce through several states to the Bear Paw Mountains of Montana, where the chief had to surrender to the US Army with the words "I am tired of fighting". On historic battlefields, in ruined forts and other sites of the great Sioux War, on the vast plains of the High Plains, which still seem as fascinating today as they did during the Indian Wars. With the Comanches through western Texas. Not only during the full moon, the infamous "Comanche Moon", they went on the warpath all the way to Mexico. With the Cheyenne to the north and the Navajo to the legendary Monument Valley. Like Geronimo, Mangas and Cochise through the deserts of the Southwest.
