Who inhabits this vast new garden of Eden? What strange beasts and natural formations can be found? Thus was the birth of Manifest Destiny and the resulting bloody battles with Indigenous tribes encountered by white explorers. Also in this volatile mix are the grizzled fur trappers and mountain men, waging war against the Native American tribes whose lands they traverse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the setting of \u003ci\u003eThrone of Grace\u003c\/i\u003e, and the guide to this epic narrative is arguably America's greatest yet most unsung pathfinder, Jedediah Smith. His explorations into the forested frontiers on both sides of the Rocky Mountains and all the way to the West Coast would become the stuff of legend. Thanks to painstaking research and riveting writing, the story of the making of modern America is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and memorable men and women, settlers and Indigenous, who witnessed it. But it's Smith who drives the narrative with his trailblazing path through the unexplored terrain of the American West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrone of Grace\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping yarn that drops the reader into the center of an underreported era and introduces one of the great explorers in American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Clavin, Bob Drury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250285836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2023 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBOB DRURY and TOM CLAVIN are the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling authors of \u003ci\u003eThe Last Hill, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as \u003ci\u003eBlood and Treasure;\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of Everything That Is; Lucky 666; Halsey's Typhoon; Last Men Out; Valley Forge\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Stand of Fox Company, \u003c\/i\u003e which won the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's General Wallace M.
