About this book

The original journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition record one of the great adventures in American history: the epic 1804-1806 journey across the uncharted continent, from the Missouri River over the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific and back. In their own words, the explorers describe the peoples, animals, plants, and landscapes they encountered, the dangers they survived, and the vast wilderness of a young nation reaching west. Vivid, immediate, and historically priceless, the journals are a founding document of American exploration and the story of the Corps of Discovery. A remarkable firsthand chronicle, they bring the frontier and its wonders unforgettably to life.
