Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Explorations Across the Great Basin of the Territory of Utah for a Direct Wagon-Route From Camp Floyd to Genoa, in Carson Valley, in 1859
The destination of Escalante, his journal Shows, was Monterey, on the Pacific coast; but being forced, doubtless by the desert immediately west of Lake Utah, to take the so-called southern or Los Angeles route, which Bonneville's party in 1834 and Fremont in 1844 followed, and finding that, while making a great deal of south ing, he had made but little progress toward Monterey, his provisions giving out, and he fearing the approach of winter, with some difficulty he prevailed upon his party to abandon the idea of reaching Monterey, and to return to Santa Fé by the way of the villages of the Moquis and of Zuni. (see the map of his route, Plate I, Appendix R.)

The book then recounts the explorations of fur traders and explorers like James Bridger and Joseph Walker, who ventured into the Basin in the early 19th century, seeking to map the region and find new trade routes. The author also highlights the groundbreaking explorations of John C. Fremont, who famously crossed the Sierra Nevada and explored the Basin in the 1840s. Through detailed accounts of these expeditions and a wealth of historical information, the author reveals the challenges and triumphs of early exploration, highlighting the dangers, the resilience, and the vital role played by these pioneers in shaping the American West.
