The Fransiscans planned to scout the country for mineral wealth and locate the Ute and Navajo tribes for conversion. In present-day Utah, however, the dangers of starvation and hypothermia forced them to turn back. By November the friars were reduced to survival mode: stymied by the raging Colorado River, they had to kill their horses for food.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this adventure-history, David Roberts travels the Spaniards' forgotten route, using Escalante's first-person report as his guide. Blending personal and historical narrative, he relives the glories, catastrophes and courage of this desperate journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roberts, David","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42042480427193,"sku":"9780393652062","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/roberts-david-escalantes-dream-hb-w43-9780393652062-32171103551673.jpg?v=1655918827","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/escalantes-dream-hb-w43","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
