Description
An absorbing collective biography of the men who opened the West, an astounding breed. They went for days without food, waited out howling blizzards in makeshift shelters, repeatedly capsized their canoes in treacherous rapids, and hung on for their very lives while dangling from cliffs. What inspired these intrepid trailblazers to go to such extremes? Whether it was due to grandiose dreams of glory, determination to map unknown lands, or insatiable curiosity, the knowledge they brought back changed the course of North America history.
