Beginning a short distance above Fort Mandan; 180 maps depict the explorers' route in 1805-6 on the Missouri River in North Dakota and Montana; over the continental divide to Idaho; and on westward-flowing waters to the Snake-Columbia confluence in central Washington. As in Volume I; the maps contrast modern riverbeds to their courses at the time of exploration.

Minnesota's Civil War Contributions/Sacrifices .......By grim norsemanBeing from Minnesota; I am interested in and enjoy almost all things Minnesotan. I am also an above average Civil War buff. When the subject of a book is of Minnesota soldiers in the Civil war; and is illustrated with Minnesota Historical society photos of items related to Minnesotans in the Civil War; I cannot get enough or speak too highly of it. This is that book. I discovered quite a few things I did not know of Minnesota's role and sacrifices in the Civil War; read first person accounts of people actually involved; and enjoyed seeing illustrations of Civil War related items in the historical society's collections I assume I would not otherwise be able to view. This is a favorite book in my Civil War collection; and one of my favorite books in general. It could be so to you if you buy it and enjoy the good learning experience that it is. };>{>0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting readBy Bradley G. VilesOne of the most underrated divisions in the civil war. The North was literally saved on the second day at Gettysburg by this group of soldiers. I used to believe that the day was saved by the 20th Maine; however I believe it is hard to find a more compelling story than that of the 1st Minnesota. They gloriously held the center against superior numbers long enough to allow the North to reform. I suggest this book along with others that tell the story of the 1st Minnesota.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
