A Wilderness So Immense: The Louisiana Purchase and the Destiny

By Jon Kukla. “An epic story, ranging from the capitals of Europe to the Haitian revolution to the Mississippi Valley. Diplomacy and war, duplicity and bribery, ambition and continental vision – Kukla’s fast-paced narrative has it all. The Louisiana Purchase was the climax of a fascinating series of events. In this book they come together as never before.” – Charles Royster, author of The Fabulous History of the Dismal Swamp Company. Softcover.
