Francis Parkman was a historian of the 18th century. Among other
things, and despite health problems that plagued him, including
nervous ailments, lameness, and increasing blindness, he traveled
west over the Oregon Trail, and then wrote about his experiences
(The Oregon Trail, 1847). He went on to turn out eight volumes of
history, a book on rose culture, and a novel. He chose a theme of
the closest interest to his countrymen -- the colonization of the
American continent and the wars for its possession -- and he lived
through fifty years of toil to complete the great historical series
that he designed when he was but a youth at college. The main
attraction of the subject lies in his picturesque, manly character,
his inspiring example of fortitude and perseverance, and his
training and achievements as a historian. In addition, he was a
professor of horticulture at Harvard and a founder of the
Archaeological Institute of America.
