Included are 100 black-and-white illustrations as well as a timeline that guides readers through this eventful period in history.

When President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from cash-strapped France in 1803, he doubled the size of the United States without really knowing what he was getting. He dispatched Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their Corps of Discovery to explore a territory that would include part or all of fifteen future states and to seek a water route to the West Coast. Westward expansion began immediately, all for the bargain price of 15 million dollars. This book richly explores this fascinating part of history.

Besides oil, Texas has long been associated with cattle and agriculture. Learning about these industries will allow readers understand how valuable their development is to the growth of the state of Texas, as well as America's economy.
