Description
A soaring epic of love and conquest, Meridian is the story of two of the legends of westward expansion, the scout and guide Kit Carson and the explorer John Charles Frémont. Set in the turbulent 1840s, at the time of America's war with Mexico, Meridian tells of the conquest of the vast lands of New Mexico and the province of California by Frémont, Carson, and their band of soldiers and mountain men. The story is seen unfolding through the eyes of the impressionable young mapmaker and artist Bradford Stone, who falls in love with Ana Barragán, daughter of a proud Mexican family of Taos. Capturing the exciting era of America's push toward "Manifest Destiny," Meridian is the story of one of the West's most charismatic heroes, a story you will never forget.
