Excerpt from The Splendid Wayfaring: The Story of the Exploits and Adventures of Jedediah Smith and His Comrades, the Ashley-Henry Men, Discoverers and Explorers of the Great Central Route From the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean, 1822-1831
The student of American History in our schools is given an opportunity to become well acquainted with the early explorations of the Great North west and the Great Southwest; he is taught little or nothing of the real discoverers of the central route from the Missouri River tojhe 'pa?iifc Ocean. This is due to the fact that, until very recently, our historians have been concerned too much with governmental acts, too little with the activities of the people themselves. The official explorers of the Northwest and the Southwest were actually pioneers; but the oflicial exploration of the great central region beyond the Rockies was undertaken twenty years after the actual dis coverers and explorers had set out from St. Louis. Considering the fact that it was by way of the central route that the tide of migration flowed across the Rockies and possessed the Far West, it would seem that the discovery and exploration of that route might now, at last, be given some attention in our schools.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the largely untold story of the exploration and discovery of the central route from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean in the early 19th century. It sheds light on the crucial role played by Jedediah Smith, a remarkable yet often overlooked figure in American history, and the group of adventurers who opened the way for westward expansion beyond the Missouri River between 1822 and 1829. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the broader westward movement of the Aryan race, tracing its historical trajectory from its origins in the Euphrates Valley to its eventual culmination on the Pacific coast of North America. The author skillfully weaves together historical facts with vivid descriptions of the era, offering a captivating glimpse into the lives, challenges, and triumphs of these early pioneers. The book explores themes of exploration, adventure, and the relentless human spirit that drove westward expansion. It delves into the motivations and experiences of those who ventured into the unknown, highlighting their encounters with Native American tribes, the hardships they faced, and the lasting impact they had on shaping the American West. By focusing on the often-neglected central route and the individuals who traversed it, this book provides a fresh perspective on a pivotal chapter in American history, revealing the profound significance of their journeys in connecting the nation from coast to coast. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
