Explorers in the sort of interior west. So as i told you all last time, weve proceeding pretty chronologically up to this point. This lecture is going kind of spin us out onto a thematic topic. So were going to start right around Thomas Jefferson, who we left off talking about on monday, but were going to jump the way through forward to the usmexico war and the civil war.
