John Bakeless

By John Bakeless. In this exciting, action-packed young reader’s edition, based on the author’s acclaimed earlier study of the two great American explorers, historian John Bakeless chronicles the daily challenges these men faced-encounters with indigenous people, snake-infested waterways, prairie fires, floods, heat, thirst, illness, famine, and frigid mountain passes. Ages 10-14. 183 pages; paperback.
