Customer Reviews

From 1804 to our time...

This is a GREAT book. It is easy to read and well-written. You will enjoy reading it if you have to study Lewis and Clark or just to improve your knowledge about the Trail. There are three extremely interessant parts: - The focus on the Northwest at the time of the Trail - How people have been celebrating the importance of the Expedition / Centennial, etc... - The conversation between Lang, Conner, Zinn and Abbott Plus: pictures punctuate the book / useful for people who are not from the Northwest
