Prologue to Lewis and Clark, Volume 79: The MacKay and Evans Expedition
Angebote / Angebote:
The Mackay and Evans expedition (1795-1797) was more than an exploratory mission. It was the last effort by Spain to gain control over the Missouri River basin in the decade before the United States purchased the Louisiana territory. In that respect, it failed. But the expedition was successful as a journey of exploration, and had it not occurred, Lewis and Clark would have been denied valuable documents that significantly aided their exploration. In Prologue to Lewis and Clark, W. Raymond Wood narrates the history of this long-forgotten but important expedition up the Missouri River. Consolidating a collection of eighteen contemporary documents relating to the Mackay and Evans expedition as well as his own research and analysis, Wood provides an in-depth examination of the expedition's background, execution, and final results.
