The Plains and the Rockies (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book presents a comprehensive collection of 50 of the earliest accounts of expeditions to the Western and Great Plains regions of North America that were published between 1789 and 1865, written by the explorers themselves. It offers a unique firsthand perspective on the history of the trans-Mississippi West, covering the Lewis and Clark Expedition, as well as the narratives of Zebulon Pike, Stephen Long, and many others.
