商品簡介
Year of Decision 1846 tells many fascinating stories of the U.S. explorers who began the western march from the Mississippi to the Pacific, from Canada to the annexation of Texas, California, and the southwest lands from Mexico. It is the penultimate book of a trilogy which includes Across the Wide Missouri (for which DeVoto won both the Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes) and The Course of Empire. DeVoto's narrative covers the expanding Western frontier, the Mormons, the Donner party, Fremont's exploration, the Army of the West, and takes readers into Native American tribal life.
Bernard DeVoto, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, was born in Ogden, Utah in 1897. He attended the University of Utah and Harvard, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1920. He became a noted novelist, historian, literary critic, and teacher. He died in 1955.
Stephen E. Ambrose was the author of Undaunted Courage and D-Day June, 1944 both critically-acclaimed bestsellers.

This middle volume of DeVoto's landmark historical narrative covers the expanding Western frontier, the Mormons, the Donner party, Fr?mont's exploration, the Army of the West, and the character and design of Native American tribal life.
"In the first volume of the trilogy, Devoto made 1846 the 'year of the decision.' The reason was that it was in 1846 that America began a war with Mexico that would lead to the annexation of New Mexico, Arizona, and California; and that America settled a long-smoldering dispute with Great Britain and became sovereign in Oregon, thus beginning the process of making the Southwest and West Coast into a part of the American Republic. It was also a peak year in the emigration across the plains and mountains."—Stephen E. Ambrose, from the Introduction
"Bernard DeVoto has woven a pattern of history more meaningful than any of its strands . . . This rare combination of the scholar's accuracy, the novelist's creative vision, and the historian's insight has won him a distinguished place among American historians."—Garrett Mattingly, author of The Armada
