The mammoth of iniquity escaped -- So, did "nothing extraordinary" happen? 520 In 1798 more than five years before he led the epic western journey that would make him and Meriwether Lewis national heroes--William Clark set off by flatboat from his Louisville, Kentucky, home with a cargo of tobacco and furs to sell downriver in Spanish New Orleans. He also carried with him a leather-trimmed journal to record his travels and notes on his activities. In this vivid history, Jo Ann Trogdon reveals William Clark's highly questionable activities during the years before his famous journey west of the Mississippi. Delving into the details of Clark's diary and ledger entries, Trogdon investigates evidence linking Clark to a series of plots--often called the Spanish Conspiracy--in which corrupt officials sought to line their pockets with Spanish money and to separate Kentucky from the United States. The Unknown Travels and Dubious Pursuits of William Clark gives readers a more complex portrait of the American icon than has been previously written. 588 0 Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed March 18, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Clark, William,|d1770-1838|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n50083307|xTravel|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005039|zWest (U.S.)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85146140-781 600 10 Clark, William,|d1770-1838|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n50083307|xDiaries.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh99003016 600 17 Clark, William,|d1770-1838.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/19951 650 0 Explorers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85046461|zWest (U.S.)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85146140-781|xDiaries.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99003016 650 7 Travel.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1155558 650 7 Diaries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/892657 650 7 Explorers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/918556 651 0 West (U.S.)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85146140|xDiscovery and exploration.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh99002238 651 0 West (U.S.)|xDescription and travel.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85146142 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Diaries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423794 776 08 |iPrint version:|aTrogdon, Jo Ann.|tUnknown travels and dubious pursuits of William Clark.|dColumbia, Missouri : University of Missouri Press, [2015]|z9780826220493 |w(OCoLC)891854313 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1201670|zOnline eBook.
