The Lewis and Clark journals : an American epic of discovery
Following orders from President Thomas Jefferson, Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out from Saint Louis in 1804 to search for a river passage to the Pacific Ocean. This book talks about their triumphs and terrors - the thrill of seeing the vast herds of bison, the tensions in the first meetings with Indian peoples, and more.
