The Year of Decision

The Year of Decision: 1846 is a chronical of one of the most momentous years in American history. In that period, the United States went to war with Mexico, and took what is now the Southwest. In that same year, we settled the Oregon Question with Great Britain, extending the boundary with Canada to the Pacific. In the same year, the Mormons were driven out of Nauvoo, Illinois and trekked west to found Salt Lake City. And the Donner Party was trapped by the snow on the eastern slope of the Sierra.
