Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Half-Century of Conflict, Vol. 2 of 2 The occupation by France of the Lower Mississippi gave a long strong impulse to the exploration of the West, by supplying a base for discovery, stimulating enterprise by the longing to find gold mines, open trade with New Mexico, and get a fast hold on the countries beyond the Mississippi in anticipation of Spain; and to these motives was soon added the hope of finding an overland way to the Pacific. It was the Canadians, with their indomitable spirit of adventure, who led the way in the path of discovery. As a bold and hardy pioneer of the wilderness, the Frenchman in America has rarely found his match. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
