Rated by buyers -
The expedition that Prince Maximilian and Karl Bodmer took through America is one of the best kept secrets in American History. This text provides an excellent view of what North America looked like to individuals traveling through the area for the very first time. The combination of Bodmer's glorious aquatints with Maximilian's educated notes create a combination that any early American Historian or early Western fan should study if they truly love the subject.
