Book excerpt: Joel Palmer's seminal work, 'Palmer's Journal of Travels Over the Rocky Mountains, 1845-1846,' offers a captivating and meticulous narrative of his expedition across a rugged and uncharted American frontier. Palmer's journal provides an unparalleled account of the landscape's grandeur and the challenges faced by early settlers. Stylistically, the journal utilizes a straightforward and descriptive prose, immersing the reader in the vernacular of the mid-19th century. This historical travelogue not only serves as a vital document of pioneering life but also fits within the tradition of American transcendentalist literature, echoing the philosophies of contemporary writers like Emerson and Thoreau with its reflection on nature and the human spirit. Joel Palmer, an entrepreneur and adventurer, was driven by the very ethos that propelled the westward expansion of the United States. Through his eyes, we gain insights into the aspirations and trials of immigrants seeking prosperity and freedom. His journal, rich with details, provides invaluable information on the Oregon Trail and the settlement of the Pacific Northwest. His personal initiative to chart these territories reflects the broader narrative of American exploration and Manifest Destiny. As a definitive resource for historians and literary enthusiasts alike, 'Palmer's Journal of Travels' is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the spirit of the American West. The book illuminates the complexities of frontier life and embodies the resilient and explorative nature of the era's people. Recommended for its first-hand perspective, it is a historical treasure that brings the reader face-to-face with America's past and the boundless determination that shaped its present.

Download or read book Saga of Chief Joseph written by Helen Addison Howard and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Saga of Chief Joseph, Helen Addison Howard has written the definitive biography of the great Nez Perce chief, a diplomat among warriors. In times of war and peace, Chief Joseph exhibited gifts of the first rank as a leader for peace and tribal liberty. Following his people’s internment in Indian Territory in 1877, Chief Joseph secured their release in 1885 and led them back to their home country. Fiercely principled, he never abandoned his quest to have his country, the Wallowa Valley, returned to its rightful owners. The struggle of the Nez Perces for the freedom they considered paramount in life constitutes one of the most dramatic episodes in Indian history. This completely revised edition of the author’s 1941 version (titled War Chief Joseph) presents in exciting detail the full story of Chief Joseph, with a reevaluation of the five bands engaged in the Nez Perce War, told from the Indian, the white military, and the settler points of view. Especially valuable is the reappraisal, based on significant new material from Indian sources, of Joseph as a war leader. The new introduction by Nicole Tonkovich explores the continuing relevance of Chief Joseph and the lasting significance of Howard’s work during the era of Angie Debo, Alice Marriott, and Muriel H. Wright.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1845, an estimated 2,500 emigrants left Independence and St. Joseph, Missouri, for the Willamette Valley in what was soon to become the Oregon Territory. It was general knowledge that the route of the Oregon Trail through the Blue Mountains and down the Columbia River to The Dalles was grueling and dangerous. About 1,200 men, women, and children in over two hundred wagons accepted fur trapper and guide Stephen Meek's offer to lead them on a shortcut across the trackless high desert of eastern Oregon. Those who followed Meek experienced a terrible ordeal when his memory of the terrain apparently failed. Lost for weeks with little or no water and a shortage of food, the Overlanders encountered deep dust, alkali lakes, and steep, rocky terrain. Many became ill and some died in the forty days it took to travel from the Snake River in present-day Idaho to the Deschutes River near Bend, Oregon. Stories persist that children in the group found gold nuggets in a small, dry creek bed along the way. From 2006 to 2011, Brooks Ragan and a team of specialists in history, geology, global positioning, metal detecting, and aerial photography spent weeks every spring and summer tracing the Meek Cutoff. They located wagon ruts, gravesites, and other physical evidence from the most difficult part of the trail, from Vale, Oregon, to the upper reaches of the Crooked River and to a location near Redmond where a section of the train reached the Deschutes. The Meek Cutoff moves readers back and forth in time, using surviving journals from members of the 1845 party, detailed day-to-day maps, aerial photographs, and descriptions of the modern-day exploration to document an extraordinary story of the Oregon Trail.
