Sight Unseen - Andrew Menard - Bog

- How Fremont's First Expedition Changed the American Landscape

Bag om Sight Unseen

John C. Fremont was the most celebrated explorer of his era. In 1842, on the first of five expeditions he would lead to the Far West, Fremont and a small party of men journeyed up the Kansas and Platte Rivers to the Wind River Range in Wyoming. Sight Unseen argues that Fremont used both a radical form of the picturesque and an imaginary map to create an aesthetic craving for expansion.
