Set in 1819, the narrative recounts a challenging two-year expedition led by Major Stephen H. Long to explore the American Midwest and Rocky Mountains. Edwin James, the expedition's botanist and surgeon, vividly documents encounters with Sioux and Cheyenne tribes, as well as the hardships faced during their journey. Despite some navigational errors, the expedition achieved significant milestones, including the discovery of present-day Denver and the first contact with the Kiowa and Apache tribes. This journey marked a pivotal moment in the exploration of the American West.
