Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | If one should ask which is the most important river basin in the world, there is no doubt that the Mississippi would be named, with its million and a quarter square miles of area and its twenty-five or more billions of aggregated wealth. Favored in climate, soil, and navigable streams, and endowed with practically inexhaustible veins of coal, copper, iron, and silver, feeding the world with its hundreds of millions of bushels of corn and wheat, and clothing it by other millions of bales of cotton, it is hardly so astonishing that within years from its discovery by Joliet this greatest of river basins should be the abiding-place of twenty-seven and a half millions of people.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Explorers and Travellers' by A. W. Greely is a comprehensive account of the daring expeditions undertaken by North American explorers who charted unknown territories and expanded the geographical understanding of the continent. The book begins with the story of Louis Joliet, a Canadian explorer who, alongside Father Jacques Marquette, rediscovered the Mississippi River in 1673. Their journey, marked by encounters with indigenous tribes and the challenges of navigating uncharted waters, laid the groundwork for future exploration and settlement in the Mississippi Valley. Greely highlights Joliet's skill in cartography and his ability to gather valuable information from native guides, which was crucial for the success of their expedition. The narrative then shifts to Peter Le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, a prominent figure in the establishment of Louisiana. Iberville's military prowess and strategic acumen were instrumental in securing French interests in North America, particularly against English encroachments. His efforts in the late 17th century to fortify French claims in the Gulf of Mexico region were pivotal in the founding of Louisiana. Greely's work not only chronicles the adventures and achievements of these explorers but also underscores the broader effect of their discoveries on the expansion and development of the United States. Through detailed accounts and vivid descriptions, the book provides a window into the challenges and triumphs of early exploration, highlighting the courage and determination of those who ventured into the unknown.…
