This account of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, published in 1814, is based on the detailed journals kept by Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the leaders of expedition. The book begins with “Life of Captain Lewis,” written by Thomas Jefferson, which reproduces Jefferson’s detailed instructions to Lewis regarding the goals of the expedition. “The object of your mission is to explore the Missouri River, and such principal streams of it, as, by its course and communication with the waters of the Pacific Ocean, whether the Columbia, Oregan [sic], Colorado, or any other river, may offer the most direct and practicable water communication across the continent, for purposes of commerce.” The 29-man Corps of Discovery set out from St. Louis on May 14, 1804. In the next 28 months, Lewis and Clark traveled more than 12,000 kilometers through unfamiliar terrain inhabited by Indian tribes. By the end of 1804, they had made it to the Great Bend of the Missouri River. In 1805, they journeyed up the Missouri, across the Rocky Mountains, and down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. After suffering through a dismal winter, the members of the expedition began their long return journey, finally reaching Saint Louis on September 23, 1806. [mehr]

I Have Undertaken The Task Of Tracing The History Of The Grand Army And Its Leader During The Year 1812. I Address It To Such Of You As The Ices Of The North Have Disarmed, And Who Can No Longer Serve Their Country, But By The Recollections Of Their Misfortunes And Their Glory. Stopped Short In Your Noble Career, Your Existence Is Much More In The Past Than In The Present; But When The Recollections Are So Great, It Is Allowable To Live Solely On Them. I Am Not Afraid, Therefore, Of Troubling That Repose Which You Have So Dearly Purchased, By Placing Before You The Most Fatal Of Your Deeds Of Arms. Who Is There Of Us But Knows, That From The Depth Of His Obscurity The Looks Of The Fallen Man Are Involuntarily Directed Towards The Splendor Of His Past Existence--Even When Its Light Illuminates The Shoal On Which The Bark Of His Fortune Struck, And When It Displays The Fragments Of The Greatest Of Shipwrecks?

Translation of the Norwegian Account of Haco s Invasion of Scotland first issued from the press. Since then, amid much literature upon the subject, it has always held a most important place in the eyes of the student of early Scottish History. As an authentic source of information it has been eagerly sought after, but it has an additional attraction in the graphic pictures which it presents of the various perils by land and sea encountered by the hardy Norsemen. The translators valuable notes are given in extenso, and for easier reference are transferred from the end of the work and printed on the pages to which they belong. [mehr]
