199929113N.P.:: XLibris 1999. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Sacajawea is by far the most memorialized female in American history. According to the U. S. Government "More statues streams lakes landmarks parks songs ballads and poems honor this young woman than any other woman in American history. Without Sacajawea's navigational diplomatic and translating skills the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition would have perished." Yet controversy still rages as to whether she died in 1812 in South Dakota or in 1884 in Wyoming. And where is she buried South Dakota or Wyoming. This book answers those questions by validating the Oral or Traditional History of her own people the Shoshones and explains why many white historians including Ken Burns and Steven Ambrose are wrong concerning the death and the burial spot of America's greatest and most beloved female icon.

He would refuse to take provisions and live off the land became famous for his daring exploits. "In 1926 Hornby tried to spend a year in a spot by the Thelon River with his 18-year-old cousin Edgar Christian and another young man Harold Adlard. Unfortunately the trio missed the caribou migration southward and therefore lacked sufficient food to survive the winter. Hornby died of starvation along with his companions in 1927. The graves of the three men can be found by the Thelon River near Hornby Point.Hornby recommended in a report following his expedition with Critchell Bullock that the areas near the Thelon and Hanbury Rivers be created as a wildlife sanctuary. The Thelon Game Sanctuary was established in 1927 and renamed Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary in 1956." Wikipedia . John Murray hardcover

Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Second Series volumes 152-155 and 139. First edition. Overshadowed for nearly two hundred years in European scholarship by the literary and scientific achievements and reputation of his eldest son George Forster the author of this journal J R Forster Principal naturalist on James Cook's second voyage was nevertheless recognized by many contemporaries as one of the 'universal geniuses' of the late eighteenth century. Despite Forster's diverse prodigious and sometimes brilliant output the constant circumstances of his career and personality were such that his work was dogged by debilitating disputes and vendettas with the result that those many longer more epoch-making and polished works which would have established him as the leading pioneering comparative anthropologist linguist geographer and zoologist of the Pacific and a most competent student in those disciplines of Africa North America and Europe especially Russia have remained only as obscure and seldom-used manuscripts. After Forster's death in 1798 his books and manuscripts - 'there has never been . a private library in Germany to compare with it.' wrote the royal Librarian in Berlin - were sold to the royal Library of the King of Prussia later the Prussian State Library. Among the numerous Forster 'treasurers' deposited in Berlin as his six volume journal in the Resolution. As the journal o a highly literate landsman-at-sea it offers many new typically unrestrained insights into the day-to-day relationships life and thinking and theory-testing on this the most scientific and epic of Cook's three voyages. It is also the fundament upon which George Forster wrote his classic travelogue A Voyage round the World 1777 that humane influence - in many translations - upon science and belles-lettres. It is too the key to the science and anthropology of this voyage the central document to understanding the naturalists' day-to-day work and finds. Set alongside the journals of Cook and his other principals - which it often surpasses intellectually and empirically - anthropologists ethnolinguists geographers geologists botanists zoologists especially ornithologists and medical and literary historians as well as students of James Cook and the eighteenth century mind will find much new observation and theory. For the two Forsters fashioned forces to influence Alexander von Humboldt and foretell Charles Darwin. Condition: Jackets with light edge wear spine ends rubbed else very good to fine in like jacket.
