From a high school library, this book is in overall smashing condition commensurate with age: tight spine, clean pages, no torn or worn pages, common library markings (barcode, spine label, library stamp, DISCARD stamp), dust jacket is covered in mylar and has very little edge wear given its age. From the Louisiana Purchase of 1804 to the great wagon trains of the mid-1840s, this is the story of the westward drive that swept America beyond the Mississippi to its destined dominion from sea to sea. The Final Challenge is a story of Mountain Men, Indians, traders, and settlers; of Lewis and Clark, Aaron Burr, and John Jacob Astor; of California, Texas, and Oregon. It is the final chapter in the saga of a nation's birth as told by the brilliant chronicler of the American phenomenon, Dale Van Every.
