Frémont and Carvalho sighting polaris
in Rocky Mountains.
"Here was no chance work, no guessing, for a
deviation of one mile, either way, from the true
course, would have plunged the whole party into
certain destruction...It seems as if Col.
Frémont had been endowed with supernatural
powers of vision, and that he penetrated with his
keen and powerful eye through the limits of space,
and saw the goal to which all his powers had been
concentrated to reach. It was a feat of scientific
correctness, probably without comparison in the
records of the past." Soloman Nunez Carvalho,
1864

I have found it necessary to raise the price from the
previous printing (Feb. 2000). This is partly because of the
additional cost of printing the added material, increased
printing rates, and recent postal rate increases. I did not
want to cut back on the 70 lb. paper quality, as the
illustrations are printed at high resolution. This is, after
all, a labor of love, and if I cannot do it the way I want
it to be, I would just as soon not do it at all. So, as of
August 7, 2001, the price is now:
$18.00
|
 $21.50
includes 3-day priority mailing anywhere in
U.S. (I am eating the US Postal
Service rate increases of May 2002 and January
2006, so no change in mailing costs).
Please email for multiple copy discounts.

You can charge to
credit card
with
U.S.A. only--email for costs to other
destinations.
If, like Jan Safar, you live in the Czech
Republic--the farthest The
Crossing has traveled--the
prioritaire mail rate is $9.00, so call or
email
first.
