Thomas Jefferson and the Rocky Mountains by Donald C Jackson

Recounts Thomas Jefferson's role in advocating and shaping the exploration, settlement and development of the trans-Mississippi West. Jackson argues that although he did not travel farther inland than the slopes of the Appalachians, Jefferson must take his place alongside the pioneers.
