	Before Lewis and Clark (Rivers, Edens, Empires: Lewis & Clark and the Revealing of America, Library of Congress)
		However, the geography of this region remained virtually unknown outside the Spanish empire, since the maps and accounts of Spanish exploration remained in manuscript and were not published.
		The influence of the 1797 Mackay-Evans map of the Missouri River is underscored by this apparent copy by Joseph Nicollet, who mapped the upper Mississippi River and the adjacent region west to the Missouri River from 1836-1840.
		The map locates the Missouri's headwaters near Santa Fe presumably in an attempt to validate the Spanish notion that northern Mexico was embraced by both the Mississippi and the Missouri rivers.

	Environmental History: Opening the Ozarks: Historical Geography of Missouri's Ste. Genevieve District, 1760-1830
		Schroeder's geographical focus is a corner of the Ozarks south of St. Louis, a topographically and geologically diverse area anchored by the little Mississippi River village of Ste.
		Schroeder's is a model for the right way to do a local study, the right way to ask big questions and draw broad and substantiated conclusions from historical development in a small and relatively isolated area.
		Opening the Ozarks is a first-rate study that should be of interest to scholars of the American frontier, to those of the Ozarks, and to anyone interested in understanding the nuances of the interplay of culture, political economy, and geography in the American heartland.
