The St. Louis County Library Foundation Presents
Historians Bob Drury and Tom Clavin

Authors of  “Throne of Grace: A Mountain Man, an Epic Adventure, and the Bloody Conquest of the American West”
 

Presented by the Westfall Politics & History Series

Bestselling historians and co-authors Bob Drury and Tom Clavin share the explosive true saga of the early exploration of the American frontier. It is the early 19th century, and the land recently purchased by President Thomas Jefferson stretches west for thousands of miles. Pathfinder Jedediah Smith and the Mountain Men’s explorations into the forested frontiers all the way to the West Coast would become the stuff of legend. Thanks to painstaking research, the story of the making of modern America is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and memorable men and women, settlers and Indigenous people, who witnessed it. 

Doors open at 6:00 p.m.

Books available for purchase from Main Street Books.
