Description
Lewis and Clarke (L&C) did not embark on their trek across the continent alone -- dozens of men and eventually one woman accompanied them. The men who were instrumental to the success of the L&C expedition come to life here. A biographical roster and a diary of the expedition highlights the roles and actions of the expedition¿s members. The book affords readers glimpses of those who have long stood in the shadows of L&C. Disagreements and achievements, ailments and addictions, and colorful personalities and daily tasks are all vividly rendered in these pages. The result is an unforgettable portrait of the corps of diverse characters who undertook a remarkable journey across the western half of the continent 200 years ago. Illustrations.
