Description
The North American Journals offer an incomparable view of the upper Missouri and its Native peoples at a pivotal moment within the history of the American West. This meticulous account, newly translated with extensive up to date annotation, faithfully reproduces Maximilian’s 110 drawings and watercolors in addition to his own notes, asides, and appendices. Volume I, which covers May 1832 to April 1833, documents Maximilian’s voyage to North The united states and his first encounters with Indians upon reaching the West. That is an very important resource for nineteenth-century western American history and a work of lasting value.
