Description
More than 200 years later, the “voyage of discovery” — with its outsized characters, geographic marvels, and wondrous moments of adventure and mystery — continues to draw us along the Lewis and Clark Trail. Revisit the Lewis and Clark Trail and its famous people, landmarks, and events, exploring questions the expedition continues to raise, such as: What really motivated Thomas Jefferson to send out his agents of discovery? What “mutinous expressions” were uttered? What happened to the dog? Why did Meriwether Lewis end his own life?
In the resulting trip through history, Tubbs recounts her travels along the trail by foot, Volkswagen bus, and canoe — at every turn renewing the American experience inscribed by Lewis and Clark.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“For Stephenie Ambrose Tubbs, the Lewis and Clark expedition is not just a historical story; it’s personal, too, intertwined with her father’s and family’s lives. In this book, she brings her own experiences on the trail — and especially her own passions and insights — to bear on the Corps of Discovery. Reading it is like having a lively conversation across an open campfire.” (Dayton Duncan, author of Out West: A Journey through Lewis and Clark’s America)
"For Lewis and Clark aficionados, this little volume should find a place on their bookshelves." (Publishers Weekly)
"A candid and enlightening assessment of the landmark Corps of Discovery." (Deborah Donovan, Booklist)
