    About this ebook

    Captain John Mullan is one of the unsung heroes of the American Northwest. He has 42 markers, including 12 statues, 12 stone or pyramid monuments, 12 road signs, and 6 historical markers scattered from eastern Washington to central Montana, for explorations and road construction in 1853 to 1862, all by horseback. No other man has as much historical recognition for what had been accomplished in the great Northwest of America. Americans owe their ability to see this beautiful corner of the country to John Mullan, who forged the way from the Columbia River in Oregon to the plains of eastern Montana as highways and Interstate follows his road building route.

    About the author:
    Stewart Nash has over 40 years of experience as a professional land surveyor. He has worked and traveled over the same routes that Mullan has even visited some of his encampments. This experience offers a unique perspective into the work of John Mullan, the first of his predecessors in the American northwest

    Author

    Stewart Nash

    Mr. Nash is a professional land surveyor and has worked in most western states and B.C. Canada. His additional outdoor activities includes: hunting, fishing, hiking, and gold prospecting, all of which have given him a unique perspective when writing stories taking place in the wilds. He has one such book published in B.C. Canada, a bestseller in 2001, The Last 300 Miles, now available on e-books under G. Stewart Nash. He also has a recently published biography of a northwest 1853 railroad exploration and a 1858-62 military road construction across the Rocky Mountains, titled, John Mullan - Soldier, Explorer, Road Builder, found on Amazon. He truly enjoys the research involved in his works, which are mostly historical fiction filled with action and adventure. However, to qualify his book titled, Who Is - Jesus Christ, Stewart has been a biblical student for many years and served in churches as a deacon, a message presenter, and Sunday School teacher. He lives with his wife Sandy, for 32 years, and together they have six children, 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. In 2017 he and Sandy had moved to northern British Columbia, Canada, to be closer to both of their immediate relatives. Nash currently has a few different books available on amazon.com,
