Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Following in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, John Hoganson and Ed Murphy lead readers on a geologic tour of the Missouri River valley in western North Dakota, explaining the geologic wonders that Lewis and Clark recorded in their journals--burning coal veins, petrified trees, cannonball concretions--as well as more modern discoveries such as dinosaur fossils. Color photographs, maps, and paintings complement the explanations of the geologic features exposed in highway roadcuts and along the riverbanks and bluffs. Book News Annotation:Lewis and Clark spent 213 days in North Dakota, more than in any
other state, and their journals reflect copious observations of its
geology, including their collection of fossils, rocks, and minerals.
Hoganson (paleontologist for the North Dakota Geological Survey and
curator of state fossil collection, North Dakota Heritage Center,
Bismarck) and Murphy (assistant director of the North Dakota
Geological Survey) discuss Lewis and Clark's observations in their
lengthy historical introduction to this volume. The remainder of
this accessible, well-illustrated, and knowledgeable text describes
the geology of their state. Many color photographs are included.
