| Summary | "James's Account of S. H. Long's Expedition, 1819-1820, Part 3" by Edwin James et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the journey and observations made by the expedition led by S. H. Long in the early 19th century, focusing on the natural landscape, Indigenous peoples, and various scientific curiosities encountered along the route. It provides detailed descriptions of exploration efforts as well as the hardships faced by the explorers in the uncharted territories of the American West. At the start of this volume, the narrative sets the scene for an ascent of a mountain peak by a group led by Dr. James, who is accompanied by a small team. They face numerous challenges, including a rugged terrain of loose rock and difficult weather conditions while recording valuable scientific data about the geography, flora, and fauna of the region. The text illustrates their daily struggles for survival and the discoveries they make along the way, including encounters with unique mineral springs and vibrant alpine flora. The group relies on both their preparation and adaptability to progress through the wilderness, underscoring the resilience needed for such a pioneering expedition.
