Over three centuries later, the four \"Great Surveys\" in the United States were consolidated into the U.S. Geological Survey. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The frontiers were the lands near or beyond the recognized international, national, regional, or tribal borders. Over the centuries, they hosted a complicated series of international explorations of lands inhabited by American Indians, Spanish, French-Canadians, British, and Americans. These explorations were undertaken for wide-ranging reasons including geographical, scientific, artistic-literary, and for the growth of the railroad. This history covers over 350 years of exploration of the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunt Janin, Ursula Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476678677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476678672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Hunt Janin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616751841535,"sku":"9781476678672","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27e879db-3e98-4edf-950a-c6945c66257c.jpg?v=1703022114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/overland-explorations-of-the-trans-mississippi-hunt-janin-9781476678672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
