Böcker i American Heritage, American Voices series-serien

Explore the American West with the people who settled it! In 1805, when William Clark first spotted the Pacific Ocean-highlighting the famous Lewis and Clark expedition across the continent-it marked the beginning of a massive westward movement that lasted through the century.

This book includes primary sources from throughout the colonial period, from the first voyage of Columbus in 1492 to the inauguration of George Washington in 1789. The readings provide a lively and informative look into what life was like for the first settlers (in their own words).
