A FORGOTTEN BUT FASCINATING CHAPTER IN AMERICA'S FORMATION

Peter Stark deserves a great amount of praise for this remarkable book. Some of the finest literary work grows from the roots of intriguing events in human history that are not well known or remembered. Set at the beginning of the 1800s and based on a historical expedition which was championed by Thomas Jefferson and funded by John Jacob Astor, known as the Astor Expedition, it is the excellently researched and written story of two groups of explorers who set out to establish a new American colony and shipping port in the unexplored Pacific Northwest. The hardships and challenges these groups encountered along their way reads like an intense, action-adventure. As I was reading this book I couldn't help but imagine what a great script it would make for an award-winning movie. This lost chapter in America's formation will gather and hold the imagination of most readers. Definitely Five Stars.
