Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of War, Communicating, in Compliance With a Resolution of the Senate of February 13, 1866, the Report of Brevet Brigadier General W. F. Raynolds, on the Exploration of the Yellowstone and the Country Drained by That River In presenting this report I deem it proper to give a short statement of the circumstances under which it has been prepared. The expedition returned to Omaha in October, 1860. After discharging the employ es, and settling the accounts of the party, I repaired to Washington with a portion of my assistants, and commenced the preparation of the report. Good progress had been made, and I had expected to have it ready for the following session of Congress, when the breaking out of the rebellion scattered my assis tants, seriously interfering with my work. On the 1st of July, 1861, I reported that, if my services were needed elsewhere, the preparation of the report could be suspended with no other injury than that necessarily incident to delay. On the loth of that month I was ordered to join the army in the field, and shortly after all work was suspended. In the summer of 1862 I was prevented by severe and protracted illness from continuing on duty in the field, and in that condition applied for authority to resume the report, which was granted, provided it did not interfere with the medical treatment I was undergoing. My physician would not consent to my attempting the work. In January, 1863, while yet an invalid, I was again, at my own request, ordered on duty with the army, and another application was made for authority to resume the report. This time, in connection with my other duties, my request was granted, but my other duties prevented any considerable progress being made.

Book Description
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 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. Scott’s critical biography now examines the man’s accomplishments and failures alike, and traces the frustrated efforts of Doane’s 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.
