This review is from: Zebulon Pike's Arkansaw Journal: In Search of the Southern Louisiana Purchase Boundary Line (Godkin Lectures at Harvard University) (Hardcover)
Following the Louisiana Purchase, Jeferson sent out expeditions to explore what the United States had bought. Pike's Arkansas Expedition was concerned more with the southern extent of the purchase than was that of Lewis and Clark, but it was not less important. Pike reported directly to Gen. Wilkinson whose reputation as a double agent involved in the Aaron Burr conspiracy, lends spice to an otherwise ordinary expedition. It is a good beginning for further study on the subject of Mexican/American relations in the first decade of the 19th century, and an inducement to read other books about Zebulon Pike as explorer.
