Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Western Boundary of the Louisiana Purchase, 1819-1841, Vol. 2 Ever since the appearance of Justin Winsor´s Narrative and Critical History and the monumental works of Hubert Howe Bancroft, scholars have been attracted by the richness of the Southwest as a field for historical investigation. The immense collection of manuscripts and rare books, known a.s the Bancroft Library, now owned by the University of California, the archives of the United States, Mexico, Spain, England, and France, and the published documents of the United States government, contain a vast store of materials relating to this field, much of which has not yet been appraised. Any work, therefore, for many years to come, must be temporary in its nature, a fact which none recognizes more fully than the author of this monograph. Its appearance seems justifiable, however, when it is considered that no one has attempted to view in its entirety the history of the western boundary of the Louisiana Purchase. Various historians, realizing the importance of the subject, have touched it at occasional points, but usually as incidental to some other theme; such a treatment must necessarily lead to error of fact and to faulty placing of emphasis. Even here the present work is open to criticism, for it is confined to those questions which primarily involve the United States, without attempting to explore the original documents which pertain to the history of the boundary during the Spanish-French regime. This, however, has already been done with considerable care by Cox, Ficklen, Garrison, Clark, Bolton, and Heinrich, and upon their findings the writer has depended for the background of his subject.
