Visiting the Sandwich Islands, Cape of Good Hope, the Prince Edward Islands off South Africa, the Kerguelen Islands, Tasmania, New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Tonga, Tahiti, and then Hawaii. It continued to the northwest coast of North America, making Ledyard perhaps the first U.S. citizen to touch its western coast, along the Aleutian islands and Alaska into the… Read More

1860 Life of Kit Carson American Expeditions INDIANS Hunting John C Fremont

Kit Carson was one of the most famous American West frontiersmen, known for being an Indian Guide and Agent of the United States to work with native tribes. Carson's life was written about extensively throughout the 19th-century, including Charles Burdett's account. Burdett portrays Carson as a classic American folk hero, describing his expeditions westward, his trade ventures, learning to fight from Native American Indians, and his settling in Indian cultures. Other notable topics include Carson's buffalo and bear hunting excursions, as well as accounts of his involvement in John C. Fremont's expeditions.

Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art

The pages are yellowed and tanned. There are also markings throughout the book. "The roots of this book reach back to the early 1950s in Paris, where I began my professional career as a journalist.

As I reported on the French end of the war, I soon became acquainted with the names and places in Vietnam from a distance, But I scarcely imagined that they were to be part of my own experience.
