Summary:

This documentary anthology is designed for courses in which the North American West, exploration, and the frontier are central themes. Organized chronologically, it builds on the work of historians, geographers, and anthropologists to convey an expanded understanding of exploration, explorers, and the outcome of their journeys, An introductory essay ... lays out the volume's three central themes: popular expectations and conjectures as an important backdrop to discovery; exploration as an experience of mutual discovery; and the role of exploration literature in shaping our understanding of the changing face of the North American landscape.-Back cover.
