In The Natural History of the Long Expedition to the Rocky Mountains (1819-1820), Howard E. Evans offers a colorful history of the expedition of Major Stephen H. Long - the first scientific exploration of the Louisiana Territory to be accomplished by trained naturalists and artists. Based primarily on the expedition members' reports and diaries, and often told in the participants' own words, this fascinating chronicle transports readers back to the near-virgin wilderness of 1820. We accompany naturalist Edwin James as he becomes the first man to climb Pike's Peak, and roam with him in his role as botanist, collecting a multitude of plant specimens, 140 of which were described by him and others as new.
