Taken largely from original accounts of the expedition, Daugherty has written in his simple, forceful, and lyrical way to evoke the drama and pathos of what was one of American's most daring journeys of discovery. Commissioned in 1803 by President Thomas Jefferson to explore and open up this vast territory, Lewis and Clark felt it was the realization of a lifelong dream. Against the hardships of the wilderness, possible attack by hostile Indians, sudden blizzards and terrifying natural obstacles, these two men led a Corps of Discovery ably and nobly to complete their mission. Their Corps included American Indians from the Sioux, Mandan, Shoshone, Clatsop and Chopunnish tribes as well as one black slave named York. Sacajawea—the only woman on the trip—was a Shoshone who contributed invaluable service as interpreter and guide. Daugherty's evocative sepia and black ink illustrations depict individuals of humor, vitality, passion, and strength. 168pg 106060 1994 Of Courage Undaunted total:7|5:2|4:2|3:1|2:2| 7 25 15 4 3 0 false false Fri Dec 12 12:11:33 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 12:14:58 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 01 08:55:10 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 01 08:56:51 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jul 28 14:08:38 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 14:08:38 -0700 2008 This book was written before Stephen Ambrose wrote Undaunted Courage.

Both are good.
