Maximilian, Prinz von Wied and Reuben Gold Thwaites
Snowed in at Fort Clarke through the winter of 1834, Maximilian of Wied kept writing, then turned homeward down the thawing Missouri. This volume closes his great expedition with vivid notes on plains life, weather, and the long return journey. The final leg of a landmark American travel record. Winter over on the frontier, then ride for home.
