À propos de ce produit

Product Information

In the summer of 1846, the Army of the West marched through Santa Fe, en route to invade and occupy the Western territories claimed by Mexico. Fueled by the new ideology of "Manifest Destiny," this land grab would lead to a decades-long battle between the United States and the Navajos, the fiercely resistant rulers of a huge swath of mountainous desert wilderness. In Blood and Thunder, Hampton Sides gives us a magnificent history of the American conquest of the West. At the center of this sweeping tale is Kit Carson, the trapper, scout, and soldier whose adventures made him a legend. Sides shows us how this illiterate mountain man understood and respected the Western tribes better than any other American, yet willingly followed orders that would ultimately devastate the Navajo nation. Rich in detail and spanning more than three decades, this is an essential addition to our understanding of how the West was really won. Book jacket.

    A Powerful Read If You Enjoy Western American History

    I have wanted to know more about Christopher “Kit” Carson for a long time. This well researched and authored book brings the reader so many factual events with vivid context you just don’t want to put it down. Kit Carson played a major role in the western expansion of the United States. I recommend this book to all who seek knowledge of American History.

    Manifest Destiny

    Though the battle-wracked visage of Christopher `Kit' Carson ubiquitously haunts Hampton Sides' engaging new work, Blood an Thunder -- Carson seems an indispensable part of every major battle, peace effort, and even minor dispute involving Native Americans and the United States government in the American southwest territories between 1840 and 1865 (including the Civil War) - the book is more a sweeping history, revealing the pervasive insatiability of the US in its run up to Manifest Destiny. Carson certainly was a mythic figure, or made so by the pulp fiction of the day, melodramatic vehicles dubbed `blood and thunders'.

    The Europeans are coming.

    Great book on Kit Carson and the early exploration of the West with trade and reaction of the American Indians to the migration of settlers into their land.
