Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This exciting and sometimes humorous look at a remarkable episode in American history is told by the actual words of Lewis and Clark as they describe their journey to the Pacific Ocean. Excerpts from Clark's journal recreates their adventures--from hostile terrain and helpful Indians to boating disasters and encounters with grizzly bears. Full-color illustrations.

Review:

"Schanzer's account of the 1804-1805 journey has colorful, action-filled pictures, and a text drawn from the actual journals and letters written by Lewis and Clark and members of the expedition....a fine introduciton to one of the most exciting chapters in American history." School Library Journal, starred review

Review:

"This outstanding picture book is a must-have for anyone with an interst in American history." Publishers Weekly, starred review

Review:

"Schanzer often breaks up the page into a series of vignettes with captions, effectively covering many of their experiences in a small space. Her drawings include portraits of the members of the expedition and other details that make an already authentic text all the richer." Kirkus Reviews
