When his fantastic expedition ended a year and two-thousand miles later, the nation had doubled in size and now stretched from Atlantic to Pacific, fulfilling what many saw as its unique destiny. Kearny's March has all the stuff of great narrative history: hardships on the trail, wild Indians, famous mountain men, international conflict and political intrigue, personal dramas, gold rushes and land-grabs. Winston Groom plumbs the wealth of primary documentation--journals and letters, as well as military records--and gives us a sleek, exciting account that captures our imaginations and enlivens our understanding of the sometimes dirty business of country-making.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinston Groom is the author of twenty previous books, including \u003ci\u003eForrest Gump\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eConversations with the Enemy \u003c\/i\u003e(Pulitzer Prize finalist), \u003ci\u003eShiloh 1862\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Generals\u003c\/i\u003e.
