| Zusammenfassung: | "The explosive true saga of the legendary adventurer Jedediah Smith and the Mountain Men who explored the American frontier, written by New York Times bestselling authors of Blood and Treasure Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. It is the early 19th century, and the land recently purchased by President Thomas Jefferson stretches west for thousands of miles. Who inhabits this vast new garden of Eden? What strange beasts and natural formations can be found? Thus was the birth of Manifest Destiny and the resulting bloody battles with Indigenous tribes encountered by white explorers. Also in this volatile mix are the grizzled fur trappers and mountain men, waging war against the Native American tribes whose lands they traverse. This is the setting of Throne of Grace, and the guide to this epic narrative is arguably America's greatest yet most unsung pathfinder, Jedediah Smith. His explorations into the forested frontiers on both sides of the Rocky Mountains and all the way to the West Coast would become the stuff of legend. Thanks to painstaking research and riveting writing, the story of the making of modern America is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and memorable men and women, settlers and Indigenous, who witnessed it. But it's Smith who drives the narrative with his trailblazing path through the unexplored terrain of the American West. Throne of Grace is a gripping yarn that drops the reader into the center of an underreported era and introduces one of the great explorers in American history"-- |

Also in this volatile mix are the grizzled fur trappers and mountain men, waging war against the Native American tribes whose lands they traverse. This is the setting of Throne of Grace, and the guide to this epic narrative is arguably America's greatest yet most unsung pathfinder, Jedediah Smith. His explorations into the forested frontiers on both sides of the Rocky Mountains and all the way to the West Coast would become the stuff of legend. Thanks to painstaking research and riveting writing, the story of the making of modern America is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and memorable men and women, settlers and Indigenous, who witnessed it. But it's Smith who drives the narrative with his trailblazing path through the unexplored terrain of the American West. Throne of Grace is a gripping yarn that drops the reader into the center of an underreported era and introduces one of the great explorers in American history"-- Smith, Jedediah Strong 1799-1831 (DE-588)119126176 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Erschließung (DE-588)4152886-4 gnd rswk-swf Siedlung (DE-588)4054858-2 gnd rswk-swf Pionier (DE-588)4466750-4 gnd rswk-swf USA Weststaaten (DE-588)4135535-0 gnd rswk-swf Smith, Jedediah Strong / 1799-1831 Explorers / West (U.S.) / Biography Fur trade / West (U.S.) / History / 19th century Overland journeys to the Pacific West (U.S.) / Discovery and exploration West (U.S.) / History / To 1848 Voyages par terre jusqu'au Pacifique États-Unis (Ouest) / Découverte et exploration États-Unis (Ouest) / Histoire / Jusqu'à 1848 HISTORY / United States / 19th Century HISTORY / United States / State & Local / West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY) BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Adventurers & Explorers Explorers / Biography Fur trade / West (U.S.) / History West (U.S.) / Exploration West (U.S.) / History Biography Biographies (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Smith, Jedediah Strong 1799-1831 (DE-588)119126176 p DE-604 USA Weststaaten (DE-588)4135535-0 g Pionier (DE-588)4466750-4 s Siedlung (DE-588)4054858-2 s Erschließung (DE-588)4152886-4 s Geschichte z Clavin, Tom 1954- Sonstige (DE-588)1282303104 oth Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 9781250285843 |
