The Louisiana Purchase is a fascinating read and gives a thorough understanding of its importance in the turning point of US History. It talks about how Louisiana purchase became the greatest land deal in history and the conflict between France and Spain that made it possible. It also gives the facts behind explorers and leaders that came to that area and events that happened around that time making this a great resource to have in your home library to brush up on American History.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great overview of not only the purchase but also some what of a look into the Lewis and Clark expedition. Very interesting and i never really gave too much thought into how much it shaped this great nations future. The great men involved including Jefferson, Maddison, Lewis, Clark, and many others! Excellent read!

It has been a long time since high school so reading this book was a very pleasant refresh of such an important event in the history of the United States and the world.

A very good insight into the Louisiana Purchase. I didn't know all of the nuance that went into the actual purchase of the territory, and it was interesting to learn about all the behind-the-scenes actions that went on before, during, and after the Louisiana Purchase. The details regarding Lewis and Clark's expedition was informative and again provided details I hadn't been aware of before.
