Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Boy´s Story of Zebulon M. Pike This story of the explorations of Zebulon M. Pike is based upon his diary and reports; the excellent edition of Dr. Elliott Coues has been freely conisulted, without, however, accepting either his conclusions or inferences. Wherever the diary deals merely with the day´s routine, this has been condensed into connecting paragraphs with explanatory matter. This method has been preferred to footnotes, which, owing to Pike´s brevity in statement, would otherwise have been necessary. Also, in order to present a consecutive narrative, anecdotes, customs and habits of the peoples which he encountered, interesting details of the country through which he passed have been severed from the appendices, where they were placed by the explorer, and added to the diary, wherever, in point of time, they belong. In reading this modest record of courage, endurance, and of duty faithfully performed, the character of Pike as soldier and man is unconsciously presented. No more admirable figure in the history of this country could be offered to the boys of America for emulation and inspiration than that of this young soldier, who at the early age of thirty-four at last laid down his life for the country he had loved so dearly and served so well. In preparing the biographical sketch, the biographies by General A. W. Greeley and by General Henry Whiting have been consulted.
