The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
In 1805, Lieutenant Zebulon Pike set out to lay America's Claim to the northern third of the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. He not only accomplished this, but also fixed the Canadian-American border which still stands today after two centuries.
In this biography of Zebulon Pike, taken from Pike's own journals, the story of the frontier scout is excitingly told. Bern Keating takes us on the expedition to the north country and the Great Plains. It was on this second trip that Pike sighted the mountain peak which now bears his name.
In Zebulon Pike, we see the thrill of exploration on the Great Plains, the land which Pike opened to the westward push of young America.
