Download or read book ROCKY MOUNTAINS written by Edwin James and published by Naval & Military Press. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1819, an official US Army expedition was mounted to explore the virgin American territory of the Midwest up to the Rocky Mountains. The result was a gruelling, two-year adventure among the Sioux, Cheyenne and other Indian Plains tribes, not to mention natural obstacles and dangers. The author of this book, Edwin James, was the expedition's botanist, geologist and surgeon - and, as his book proves, his many skills also embraced the writing of a fine historical narrative. The expedition commander, Major Stephen H. Long was ordered to explore and chart the Red and Arkansas rivers, as well as the Colorado Rockies where one mountain they found still bears the name Long's Peak in his honour. Among the goals achieved by the expedition was finding the site of today's Denver, and reaching the Colorado Springs. As a result of mistaking the Canada River for the Red, one branch of the expedition strayed into New Mexico and Texas, where they nearly starved and were the first white men to meet members of the KIowa and Apache Indian tribes. Although Long failed to find the sources of the two rivers he was sent to explore, his expedition remains an important milestone in opening up the American west.

Download or read book Reading the Roots written by Michael P. Branch and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Roots is an unprecedented anthology of outstanding early writings about American nature--a rich, influential, yet critically underappreciated body of work. Rather than begin with Henry David Thoreau, who is often identified as the progenitor of American nature writing, editor Michael P. Branch instead surveys the long tradition that prefigures and anticipates Thoreau and his literary descendants. The selections in Reading the Roots describe a diversity of landscapes, wildlife, and natural phenomena, and their authors represent many different nationalities, cultural affiliations, religious views, and ideological perspectives. The writings gathered here also range widely in terms of subject, rhetorical form, and disciplinary approach--from promotional tracts and European narratives of contact with Native Americans to examples of scientific theology and romantic nature writing. The volume also includes a critical introduction discussing the cultural, scientific, and literary value of early American nature writing; headnotes that contextualize all authors and selections; and a substantial bibliography of primary and secondary sources in the field. Reading the Roots at last makes early American landscapes--and a range of literary responses to them--accessible to scholars, students, and general readers.

Download or read book William Clark s World written by Peter J. Kastor and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining the life and career of William Clark, this book explores how the North American West entered the American imagination. Clark was among the most important western officials of his generation, and he worked to represent the West during a period of tremendous uncertainty and change. Without ever calling himself a writer or an artist, Clark nonetheless drew maps, helped to produce books, drafted lengthy reports, surveyed the landscape, and wrote numerous journals that made sense of the West and its future for Americans who were fascinated by the region's potential but also fearful of its dangers. William Clark's World situates the descriptive words and pictures created by Clark and his contemporaries at the center of a discussion of western history and cultural development. The book casts new light on the familiar narrative of manifest destiny and on the nation's view of the West in the early nineteenth century. --Book Jacket.
