Her work is a testament to her pioneering role as a female historian and author at a time when women's contributions to literature and historiography were gaining recognition. 'The Conquest' is recommended for those intrigued by the formative tales of American history and the complexities of its heroic journeys. It is a particularly poignant read for enthusiasts of historical narratives that delve into the nuanced roles of individuals-especially women-whose stories have shaped the American identity. Dye's work invites readers to not only witness the epic odyssey of Lewis and Clark but also to appreciate the diverse contributions that forged the trail across an untamed continent. It is a narrative that celebrates the spirit of discovery and acknowledges the multifaceted nature of historical progress. Umfang: 356 S. EAN: 8596547248897
