| Given the hoopla surrounding the anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition, Oklahoma has decided to reprint Dan Flores's 1984 study (original title: Jefferson and Southwestern Exploration) of a less well-known Jeffersonian venture into the West. Recounting the 1806 expedition that cartographer Thomas Freeman and botanist Peter Custis led up the Red River, Southern Counterpart brings together Flores's account of the mission's political context with the expedition's journals and Custis's catalog of the flora and fauna encountered along the way. |
