Throne of grace: a mountain man, an epic adventure, and the bloody conquest of the American West
(Large Print)
Description
"It is the early 19th century, and the land recently purchased by President Thomas Jefferson stretches west for thousands of miles. This is the setting of Throne of Grace, and the guide to this epic narrative is arguably America's greatest yet most unsung pathfinder, Jedediah Smith. His explorations on both sides of the Rocky Mountains and all the way to the West Coast would become the stuff of legend. Thanks to painstaking research and riveting writing, Throne of Grace is a gripping yarn that introduces one of the great explorers in American history"--
