      abstract = {Born in 1779, Zebulon Pike joined the army and served in  frontier posts before embarking on a series of expeditions  that rivaled those by Lewis and Clark. He sought the  headwaters of the Mississippi, the sources of the Arkansas  and Red Rivers, which led him to Pike's Peak and capture by  Spanish forces. Surveying and gathering data Pike sought to  incorporate distant territories into the republic, to  overlay the west with the American map; yet he became  increasingly dependent on people who had no attachment to  the nation he served.},
