Abstract
"A work tracing the 50-year career of Western explorer, Randolph Marcy. Not nearly as renowned as Lewis and Clark or Fremont, Marcy nontheless made five major expeditions through the West in the mid-19th century and was, among other accomplishments, the first to map the Red River. He also drafted the first reliable maps of the American Southwest."--WorldCat.org.
