Description: Lions of the West: Heroes and Villains of the Westward Expansion By Robert Morgan Published A Shannon Ravenel Book, 2011. 497 pp. Hardcover in original binding and dust jacket. From Thomas Jefferson s birth in 1743 to the California Gold rush in 1849, America s Manifest destiny comes to life in Robert Morgan s skilled hands. Jefferson, a naturalist and visionary, dreamed that the United States would stretch across the continent from ocean to ocean. The account of how that dream became reality unfolds in the stories of Jefferson and nine other Americans whose adventurous spirits and lust for land pushed the westward boundaries: Andrew Jackson, John Johnny Appleseed Chapman, David Crockett, Sam Houston, James K. Polk, Winfield Scott, Kit Carson, Nicholas Trist, and John Quincy Adams. Their tenacity was matched only by that of their enemies the Mexican army under Santa Anna at the Alamo, the Comanche and Apache Indians, and the forbidding geography itselfI've done my best to describe the book, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
