After emigrating to America in 1859, Stanley worked as a journalist for the New York Herald. In 1869 he was instructed to undertake an expedition to find the missionary David Livingstone, and the success of this mission brought him public recognition and financial success. Published in 1895, these two volumes contain Stanley's early journalistic writing as special correspondent for the Herald and the Missouri Democrat. Stanley's reports in Volume 1 cover General Hancock's military expedition against the Cheyenne and the Sioux peoples in Kansas and Nebraska, and the subsequent peace conferences between General Sherman and the Plains Indians. He paints a vivid picture of life in 1867 in this area of the United States through in-depth descriptions of the customs and living conditions of the native Indians, geographical features and military confrontations.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Publisher's note\u003cbr\u003e Fort Harker\u003cbr\u003e From Fort Harker to Fort Zarah\u003cbr\u003e From Fort Zarah to Fort Larned\u003cbr\u003e Appearance of Fort Larned\u003cbr\u003e Indian incendiarism and murder\u003cbr\u003e A paradise of nature\u003cbr\u003e Hancock's reception at Fort Dodge\u003cbr\u003e General topics\u003cbr\u003e The last pow-wow\u003cbr\u003e From Fort Larned to Fort Harker via Fort Hayes\u003cbr\u003e General subjects continued\u003cbr\u003e A trip up the Missouri\u003cbr\u003e The Union Pacific Railroad\u003cbr\u003e A fugitive from the Indian camp\u003cbr\u003e Stringent martial law at Sedgwick\u003cbr\u003e New Julesburg\u003cbr\u003e From St. Louis to Fort Harker\u003cbr\u003e Pacific Road\u003cbr\u003e Particulars of the Plum Creek Massacre\u003cbr\u003e Arrival at Julesburg\u003cbr\u003e From Denver to Golden City\u003cbr\u003e Notorious Julesburg\u003cbr\u003e The commissioners at the Council Ground\u003cbr\u003e General Sherman's speech\u003cbr\u003e The members of the Peace Commission, and the Press Gang\u003cbr\u003e The change at Larned\u003cbr\u003e Another council\u003cbr\u003e An amphitheatre in a grove\u003cbr\u003e Arrival of Osage chiefs\u003cbr\u003e Arrival of hostile chiefs\u003cbr\u003e Interesting proceedings\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: General \u0026amp; world history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on General \u0026amp; world history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22General%20\u0026amp;%20world%20history%20%5BHBG%5D%22\"\u003eHBG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266034323736,"sku":"9781108032971","price":31.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108032971i.jpg?v=1694873720","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/my-early-travels-and-adventures-in-america-and-asia-paperback-9781108032971","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
