Repeated clashes between American fur traders and the Plains Indians following the War of 1812 lent urgency to demands that the United States government protect its territory in the West.

Calhoun projected a troop movement, called the Yellowstone Expedition, which grew from one expedition to three-the Missouri, the Mississippi, and the Scientific expeditions. The...

John Conington's three-volume edition of The Works of Virgil, begun in 1852, has long been unavailable except in rare second-hand sets. The whole work is now being reissued in six affordable paperbacks, with new introductions setting the commentary in its context.
