The Shortest Route to California (Classic Reprint): Illustrated by a History of Explorations of the Great Basin of Utah, with Its Topographical and ... of the Indian Tribes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
This book explores the Great Basin, a triangular region defined by the mountains north of the Humboldt River and Great Salt Lake, the Sierra Nevada, and the Wasatch Range. Since the explorations of Fremont in 1848-44, interest in the area has been piqued by its inaccessibility, indigenous peoples, and the scientific allure of its unique geography. The author, an Army engineer, led an 1859 expedition that successfully crossed the Basin, opening two new wagon routes that reduced the distance between Salt Lake City and San Francisco by hundreds of miles. The book chronicles this expedition, providing an unprecedented account of the Basin's topography, geology, and ethnology. It is a valuable contribution to the understanding of this fascinating region, revealing its physical characteristics, natural resources, and historical significance.
