Thomas Jefferson was fascinated by the natural life of the ever expanding continent; with the Louisiana Purchase, the time was right to explore the extent and breadth of America. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were the men chosen to explore the wilderness, and their journey has become part of the lexicon of American history. Traversing over ten states, their meeting and subsequent following of Sacagawea and the dangers they encountered are all recounted here in their own words. Their daily records show their thoughts and the events as they really happened during the spring of 1804. 382 pages, softcover.
