Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early mountain men searching for routes through the Rockies to West Point soldier-engineers conducting topographical expeditions, the exploration of the American West mirrored the development of a fledgling nation. In his Pulitzer Prize-winning Exploration and Empire, William H. Goetzmann analyzes the special role the explorer played in shaping the vast region once called "the Great American Desert." According to Goetzmann, the exploration of the West was not a haphazard series of discoveries, but a planned - even programmed - activity in which explorers, often armed with instructions from the federal government, gathered information that would support national goals for the new lands. As national needs and the frontier's image changed, the West itself was rediscovered by successive generations of explorers, a process that in turn helped shape its culture. Nineteenth-century western exploration, Goetzmann writes, can be divided into three stages. The first, beginning with the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804, was marked by the need to collect practical information, such as the locations of the best transportation routes through the wilderness. Then came the era of settlement and investment - the drive to fulfill the Manifest Destiny of a nation beginning to realize what immense riches lay beyond the Mississippi. The final stage involved a search for knowledge of a different kind, as botanists and paleontologists, ethnographers and engineers hunted intensively for scientific information in the "frontier laboratory." This last phase also saw a rethinking of the West's place in the national scheme; it was a time of nascent conservation movements and public policy discussions aboutthe region's future. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Goetzmann offers a masterful overview of the opening of the West, as well as a fascinating study of the nature of exploration and its consequences for civilization.

This book was released on 2023-08-12 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winning of the West: Louisiana and the Northwest, 1791-1807 by Theodore Roosevelt is a meticulously researched and engagingly written account of the westward expansion of the United States during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Roosevelt's literary style is characterized by a combination of historical analysis and vivid storytelling, making the complex events of this period accessible to readers of all levels. The book provides insight into the geopolitical dynamics of the time, exploring the ambition, determination, and conflicts that shaped the nation's territorial growth. It examines the challenges and triumphs of pioneering settlers, Native American tribes, and European powers vying for control of the newly expanded territories. Roosevelt's comprehensive approach offers a nuanced understanding of the complexities of westward expansion in this critical period of American history. As a renowned historian, conservationist, and statesman, Theodore Roosevelt drew upon his deep knowledge of American history and his personal experiences to write The Winning of the West. His passion for the natural world and his dedication to preserving America's wilderness informed his perspective on the westward expansion and its impact on the environment. Roosevelt's political career and his leadership in the progressive movement also influenced his exploration of the historical forces that shaped the nation's development. I highly recommend The Winning of the West: Louisiana and the Northwest, 1791-1807 to readers interested in American history, frontier narratives, and the legacy of westward expansion. Roosevelt's insightful analysis and engaging prose make this book a must-read for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and triumphs of the American frontier.

This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Theodore Roosevelt called himself a “book lover” and for good reason. From his boyhood days in the 1860s to the very end of his life in 1919, Roosevelt had a deep-seated passion for reading books. Wherever he went, he brought books with him. Whether he was rounding up cattle on a ranch in North Dakota, giving campaign speeches from the back of a train, governing the nation from the White House, or exploring an uncharted tributary of the Amazon River, he always made time to read books. Theodore Roosevelt and His Library at Sagamore Hill includes an overview of Roosevelt’s life as a reader, a discussion of the role that reading particular books played in shaping his life and career, and a short history of his personal library. The book also provides researchers and others interested in Roosevelt’s life with a complete list of Roosevelt’s books that are currently located at Sagamore Hill, his home in Oyster Bay, New York. The books in his personal library reflect his love of classic works of literature, his interest in history, and his fascination with the natural sciences. Theodore Roosevelt and His Library at Sagamore Hill concludes with an essay that Roosevelt wrote near the end of his life in which he reflected on his reading habits and commented on some of his favorite books.
