Description
Book SynopsisOffers a careful re-evaluation of Lewis and Clark west of the Bitterroot Mountains. An extraordinary new look at their extended visit - four months of daily interchange with a community the white visitors regarded as especially friendly, hospitable, and helpful to their success - the book represents a breakthrough in Lewis and Clark studies.
Trade Review"From the tiniest details to the widest understanding of events, this book tells the familiar story with a freshness and authenticity that sets it apart from the scores of others before it."
