520 1 $a"In this narrative, acclaimed writer and historian Michael Golay brings to life the traders, trappers, explorers, and missionaries who withstood seemingly insurmountable odds to seize a Pacific Empire for their nation. Drawing from letters, diaries, and both published and unpublished memoirs, The Tide of Empire is a colorful chronicle of indomitable characters, moral ambiguities, and the clash of Native American and European cultures." "Along the way, we meet the complex individuals at the heart of the story, including the aggressively entrepreneurial missionary Jason Lee; John Charles Fremont, who may have carried secret government orders to spark a revolt in California; Nathaniel Wyeth, the resourceful adventurer who, in two cross-country voyages, clearly established the Oregon Trail; and Narcissa Prentiss, who longed for the heroic life of a missionary and, along with her husband Marcus Whitman, unwittingly set in motion the destruction of the Cayuse tribe's way of life."--BOOK JACKET.
