According to CLARK & BRUNET, the Hafens had done prior work with the Arthur H. Clark Company, but their relationship was "fully established with the 15-volume Far West and Rockies Series."

A work of enduring quality and scholarship, this volume mined significant primary source material, particularly diaries, to thoroughly document the subjugation of the Plains Indians. Production run of this volume was 1,269 copies. CLARK & BRUNET, 104: IX.
