Synopsis

This presentation of the Lewis & Clark expedition, culled directly from the journals, with only minor connective passages, streamlines this captivating story into a single dramatic narrative, without diversions. Here are the grizzly bear attacks, the perilous river rapids and falls, the mountain crossings, the peaceful and not-so-peaceful encounters with the various Indian nations, the ever-pesky mosquitos and insufferable fleas, the illnesses and injuries, the deaths and near-deaths, as well as every pertinent mention of the Shoshone woman, Sacagawea, the Captains made in their journals.

What follows, then, is a straight-forward narrative of the day-to-day adventures of the Corps of Discovery during their expedition to the Pacific Ocean and back, a very human tale which the Captains render in a manner that is interesting, sometimes thrilling, but never dull. It is the American epic.
