Résumé:

Hart has taken photographs of forts, posts, and military relics, and supplied accounts and reminiscences in accurate detail. The result is a picture of the true beginnings of Western life. From Lewis and Clark's Ford Clatsop, to the "Pig War" in the San Juan Islands, you'll find ground plans, sketches, and anecdotes to make the outposts come alive.
