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

See what it brings on the "used market."

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.

1 copy $21.50

2 copies $39.50
