Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In October 1848 John Charles Fremont and an expedition of thirtyfive men set out from Westport, Missouri, to find an allseasons railroad route through the central Rockies. Their failure in the deep snows and belowzero winds of Colorados San Juan Mountainsand the deaths of nearly a third of the expeditionleft not only vestiges of disaster but persistent questions. What was the exact route taken by the expedition? Where are its camps located? What were the motives of veteran guide Bill Williams, who directed Fremont away from the most sensible trails leading across the Continental Divide.In Trail to Disaster, Patricia Joy Richmond takes both armchair readers and modernday explorers along Fremonts route to relive an important episode in western exploration. The result is a unique combination a bookshelf history and a backpackers guidebook, enriched by the authors long familiarity with Fremonts route and enlivened by her clear, authoritative style.For readers who want to follow fourwheeldrive roads and hiking trails to the La Garita campsites, a detailed map is available with this book. Other essential materials for a close study of Fremonts route are National Forest Service maps of the San Isabel, Rio Grande, and Carson national forests.
