Excerpt from Explorers and Founders of America This book gives biographical sketches of the greatest personalities in the history of America, from the days of the earliest adventurers down to the Revolutionary War, and may be used advantageously in any of the grammar grades. It may be noted in passing that it contains all the biographical material required in the Syllabus of the New York State Education Department for the fifth grade, and also all the sketches required in the course of study for the 5 A and 5 B grades in the city of New York. The material has been put in short sentences expressed in a conversational vocabulary. Each sketch is followed by suggestive topics for oral or written composition and for review, and a considerable amount of map work and outside reading is recommended.

Although a host of adventurers stormed west in 1806 after Lewis and Clark's safe return, seven of them left unique legacies because of their monumental journeys, their lionhearted spirit in the face of hardship, and the way their paths intertwined time and again. The Perilous West tells this riveting story in depth for the first time, focusing on each of the seven explorers in turn - Ramsay Crooks, Robert McClellan, John Hoback, Jacob Reznor, Edward Robinson, Pierre Dorion, and Marie Dorion. These seven counted the Tetons, Hells Canyon, and South Pass among their discoveries. More importantly, they forged the Oregon Trail-a path destined to link the Atlantic coast with the Pacific, spurring national expansion as it carried trappers, soldiers, pioneers, missionaries, and gold-seekers westward. The Perilous West begins in 1806, when Crooks and McClellan meet Lewis and Clark, and the vast expanse from the Dakotas to the Pacific coast appears a commercial paradise. The story ends in 1814, when a band of French Canadian trappers rescue Marie Dorion, and even John Jacob Astor's well-financed enterprise has ended in violence and chaos, placing the protagonists squarely in the context of Thomas Jefferson's monumental opening of the West, which stalled with the War of 1812.
