It overlooks the town of Colorado Springs, where historian Jared Orsi teaches. Orsi was inspired to take up this biography not just by geography but also because there has been no modern interpretation of the life of this key explorer in American history. His life sheds considerable life on the early national period and on the American frontier.Born during the Revolution Zebulon, Pike came of age with the nation. Trained as a soldier and stationed at various frontier posts, Pike believed he had struck a bargain with his country: by sacrificing himself physically for the nation, he would be rewarded with the independence to pursue liberty, prosperity, and refinement. He made a name for himself in the early 1800s, when he was chosen to command an expedition to find the source of the Mississippi River and purchase lands from Indians forfuture army posts. He proved himself as an explorer who could conduct missions into the frontier and penetrate Spanish territory, including Santa Fe, the Rocky Mountains, and Louisiana. Along the way he was suspected of mischievous plots against the Spanish and for a time taken captive. (Thisparticularly calls attention to the loose attachment Americans had to the new nation the further West one went.) Nonetheless, he advanced within the army and served during the War of 1812, dying during an expedition he led against York (now Toronto).Orsi aims to interpret the life of Pike through several lenses. He casts him as a nationalist, whose life reflects the tensions of the young republic. Through his figure, he is able to convey the growing interest of Americans in the West, which Pike popularized in his travel narratives. He also sees Pike in environmental terms, analyzing his physical encounters with frontier landscapes. This biography, which would be the only one in print on Pike, should have a similar readership as DonaldWorster's A River Running West and books on the Lewis and Clark expedition, as well as books on the interaction between Americans and Native peoples on the frontier. 606 $aExplorers$zWest (U.S.)$vBiography 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xDiscovery and exploration 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xHistory$yTo 1848 607 $aUnited States$xTerritorial expansion$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aExplorers 676 $a973.4/8092 676 $aB 700 $aOrsi$b Jared$f1970-$01494219 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790609003321 996 $aCitizen explorer$93717623 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03209nam 2200637 450 001 9910806855603321 005 20230807215048.0 010 $a0-8165-3217-6 035 $a(CKB)3790000000033280 035 $a(EBL)4412491 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001556771 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16181902 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001556771 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14314310 035 $a(PQKB)11647324 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4412491 035 $a(OCoLC)920778464 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse46135 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4412491 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11206719 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL830101 035 $a(EXLCZ)993790000000033280 100 $a20160530h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe ancient Maya marketplace $ethe archaeology of transient space /$fedited by Eleanor M.
