Although he did not travel farther inland than the slopes of the
Appalachians, Thomas Jefferson must take his place alongside
Zebulon Pike, Kit Carson, Jim Bridger, and Lewis and Clark--the men
who blazed the great western trails. Donald Jackson cogently
recounts Jefferson's fundamental role in promoting and shaping the
exploration, settlement, and development of the Trans-Mississippi
West. "A first-rate piece of history and, just as important, a
first-rate piece of writing. As a master documentarian, Jackson
sees Jefferson as he was, not in adulation. But his portrait, and a
long and absorbing one it is, gives us nonetheless an admirable and
great figure, more human by far than most of the representations we
have had in the past."-Savoie Lottinville, author of Rhetoric of
History (OUPress) and Director Emeritus of the University of
Oklahoma Press "Perhaps no one outside Jefferson himself has ever
known as much about Jeffersonian Western exploration as Jackson,
and this is a synthesis of that knowledge." -Dan Flores, Journal of
the west
