Description
When Napoleon offered to sell French Louisiana, America was launched on a fateful and fraught journey west. Brands takes us from John Jacob Astor's fur trading outpost in Oregon to the Texas Revolution, from the California gold rush to the Oklahoma land rush. Live in the west evoked both selfless heroism and unspeakable violence, against indigenous peoples and one another. It was soon evident that El Dorado was at least as elusive in the West as it ever was in the East-- adapted from jacket.
