Pressestimmen
"Eloquent, lively, and learned, with an intellectual breadth as wide as a Rocky Mountains horizon, Andrew Menard's Sight Unseen ably reconnoiters geographies of both imagination and terra firma. This fascinating book recovers the American West as John Fremont found it and shows us how the explorer taught us to see American landscapes - and America itself - anew." - Tom Chaffin, author of Pathfinder: John Charles Fremont and the Course of American Empire "Sight Unseen is a book for anyone who loves maps, landscape, and historical intricacy... Anchored by the image of the explorer waving his nation's flag from a mountain peak, Menard's account of Fremont's expedition enlivens the rhetoric of a triumphal national narrative. Like the explorer's Report, Sight Unseen melds scientific, symbolic, and aesthetic views of a nation that knew no bounds." - Lucy R. Lippard, author of Down Country, winner of the Caroline Bancroft History Prize
