About the Book

Mas alla del ancho Misuri (1947) es un excelente ensayo historico del escritor y estudioso norteamericano Bernard DeVoto que merecio el premio Pulitzer al mejor libro de Historia. DeVoto nos introduce de un modo literario y apasionante en el mundo de la exploracion y el comercio en los extensos territorios virgenes al oeste del rio Misuri durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Un esplendido paisaje en el que convivian unos millares de tramperos blancos junto con las tribus indias asentadas en las grandes llanuras: los sioux, cheyennes, arapahoes, pawnees, crows, nez perces, etc. DeVoto logra una emocionada evocacion de la vida en la Frontera al tiempo que enriquece considerablemente el conocimiento que teniamos de la historia de la expansion norteamericana hacia el Oeste y la formacion de la conciencia continental. Uno de los principales temas tratados en esta obra es el comercio de pieles, especialmente de castor y bisonte, que alcanzo su auge entre 1820 y 1840. DeVoto nos informa de como vivian realmente todos aquellos miticos "hombres de montana" : Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Joe Meek, etc... tratados mas tarde como personajes literarios en novelas como El trampero de Vardis Ficher o Bajo cielos inmensos de A. B. Guthire, publicadas en esta misma coleccion. Esta edicion incluyen un buen numero de ilustraciones a color de Alfred Jacob Miller asi como otras de George Catlin y Karl Bodmer-, que recrean escenas de sus viajes al inexplorado oeste americano, y que sirvieron de inspiracion a DeVoto para llevar a cabo este documentado ensayo.
