Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an unprecedented legal agreement, Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States in an afternoon. The Louisiana Purchase was an 1803 transaction in which the United States bought over 280,000 acres of land from the French.?During the Napoleonic Wars between France and Britain, the slave uprisings in the French holdings in the Caribbean left France in financial trouble. Jefferson sent James Monroe and Robert R. Livingston to Paris to negotiate the buying of the city of New Orleans, a crucial port city for America.?To their surprise, Napoleon offered the entire French territory for a price of $15 million. On December 20, 1803, the French flag was lowered in New Orleans and the flag of the United States of America flew in its stead.?Between 1804 and 1806, under the orders of Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark explored the new territory, bringing back samples of plants, foods and animals native to the area. These reports and more are included in this volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Purchase Exploration of Louisiana HE two documents now first printed in this vol ume have been for nearly a century in the cus tody of the American Philosophical Society. The first is a paper written by Thomas Jefferson while Presi dent of the United States, which gives a summary of the various claims of France, Spain, and England to territory in the Mississippi Valley, and lays down the boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase. The original of this paper, in Mr. Jefferson's own hand, was de posited by him in the archives of the Society in Phila delphia, where it still remains. The second is the manuscript known to historians as the Dunbar Jour nal, the importance of which has been generally re cognized, though but few have had access to it. The Journal was kept by William Dunbar of Natchez, on a voyage of exploration which, in company with Dr. George Hunter, he undertook by direction of the President in 1804, as a part of Mr. Jefferson's states manlike plan to survey the vast new territory just' coming into the possession of the United States. This: manuscript was presented to the Society by Daniel Parker, Adjutant and inspector-general, U. S. A., on the 18th of July, 1817.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From The Louisiana Purchase Like many other major events in world history, the Louisiana Purchase is a fascinating mix of destiny and individual energy and creativity. . . . Thomas Jefferson would have been less than human had he not claimed a major share of the credit. In a private letter . . . the president, reviving a favorite metaphor, said he "very early saw" Louisiana was a "speck" that could turn into a "tornado." He added that the public never knew how near "this catastrophe was." But he decided to calm the hotheads of the west and "endure" Napoleon's aggression, betting that a war with England would force Bonaparte to sell. This policy "saved us from the storm." Omitted almost entirely from this account is the melodrama of the purchase, so crowded with "what ifs" that might have changed the outcome-and the history of the world. The reports of the Lewis and Clark expedition . . . electrified the nation with their descriptions of a region of broad rivers and rich soil, of immense herds of buffalo and other game, of grassy prairies seemingly as illimitable as the ocean. . . . From the Louisiana Purchase would come, in future decades, the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and large portions of what is now North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Colorado, and Louisiana. For the immediate future, the purchase, by doubling the size of the United States, transformed it from a minor to a major world power. The emboldened Americans soon absorbed West and East Florida and fought mighty England to a bloody stalemate in the War of 1812. Looking westward, the orators of the 1840s who preached the "Manifest Destiny" of the United States to preside from sea to shining sea based their oratorical logic on the Louisiana Purchase. TURNING POINTS features preeminent writers offering fresh, personal perspectives on the defining events of our time.
