Description
Book SynopsisIndian tribes, environmental activists, tourism promoters, and keelboat re-enactors saw the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial as a rare opportunity. This title follows the planning of the Bicentennial. It ranges from Monticello and Washington, DC, down the length of the Missouri, and over the Rockies to the Pacific, depicting the West.
Trade Review"Thought-provoking and first rate. Those offering courses on the West would do well to consider Sarasohn's book as an introduction piece to the region, its people, and major issues and to open eyes and discussions."
