In 1803, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set off on a journey to explore the vast territory of the United States west of the Mississippi River. Accompanying Lewis and Clark and their team of explorers through this uncharted wilderness was Lewis's dog, Seaman. This is Seaman's story. From Seaman's first meeting with Lewis to being mistaken for a bear by Indians, Seaman's tales are filled with the joys of companionship and the tingling excitement of adventure. Based on information provided in the explorers' journals, the book includes many excerpts from the original text, as well as a detailed map showing the highlights of this amazing expedition.
