West of the revolution
Opis
"Claudio Saunt tells a story of an immense and restless continent connected in surprising ways. In 1776, the Spanish landed in San Francisco, Creek emissaries sailed to Cuba and the Sioux discovered the Black Hills. Decisions made across the Atlantic affected Indian trade routes on the Mississippi, set off an environmental revolution in Canada and reconfigured the political balance in the American Southwest. Perceptive and origina". - Gerard Helferich
