Waiting for Lewis and Clark: The Bicentennial and the Changing West

by David Sarasohn

Waiting for Lewis and Clark: The Bicentennial and the Changing West Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Sarasohn, an editor and columnist of The Oregonian, traces the planning of the bicentennial of Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery expedition (1804-1806). He profiles representatives of the agendas of heritage tourism, Native peoples, environmentalists, and historians commemorating the explorers' legacy. The author does an excellent job of presenting these diverse perspectives on the expedition's impact on evolving definitions of the West, but the lack of a single map of the trail is a curious omission. Distributed by the U. of Washington Press.
