Description:JOE WALKER was a famous 19th century explorer, known for founding and naming Independence, Missouri. He was the first Euro-American to enter California across the Sierras and the first to see Yosemite. In 30 years of leading men into unmapped wilderness, he was renowned for never losing a man. Walker was “kind and affable to his men, but at the same time at liberty to command without giving offense – and to explore unknown regions was his chief delight.” Thirty years after his first California expedition, during the middle years of the Civil War, 65-year-old Walker took an expedition of untrained men into the Arizona wilderness to prospect for gold. But Joe’s motives weren’t wealth and glory - he had wrongs to right and his own vision to pursue.He led his men into the midst of the war between the U.S. Army and the Mimbreno and Chiricahua Apaches. Just as it had been in 1833, when he led his crew across the Great Basin and the Sierras into California, he faced unexplored deserts, threatened mutiny, and hostile Indians. This time, however, his men were green, and he was going blind.Walker’s story is about relentless enemies - old age, leadership, racial animosity, war, the passing of an era, and a man’s rage to make his life significant, in spite of failure.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
