Synopsis

Across the Oregon Trail and the great Missouri, a sweeping saga of explorers, settlers, and frontier dreams.

This edition presents a richly detailed portrait of the Lewis and Clark journey, the people who followed them, and the vast landscapes that shaped a nation. From river gaps to icy high plains, it tracks courage, hardship, and the people who helped build the West.

Travel with Sacajawea, Patrick Gass, and the early pioneers as they face starvation, rough terrain, and long waits. Along the way, learn how cities, trails, and settlements began to rise in the wake of discovery and drift into history.

• vivid scenes of fortitude on the plains and in the halls of power
• portraits of key figures from Daniel Boone to Lewis and Clark and beyond
• glimpses of daily life, from bountiful rivers to the challenges of crossing mountains
• a chronological thread that ties exploration to the growth of the American West

Ideal for readers drawn to American history, frontier adventures, and the making of a nation.
