Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the profound and extensive research of Lieutenant G. Parke, the topographer and naturalist who embarked on an arduous journey to explore a path through some of the most unforgiving terrain in the American West. Accompanying him was a zoologist and artist, providing a unique opportunity to capture the richness of the natural world that Lieutenant Parke's expedition encountered.
