In this fictionalized biography of the journey based upon the journals of Lewis, Clark, and other members of the team, an unheralded member of the Corps, Seaman, a 150-pound Newfoundland dog, is introduced to young historians. Seaman travels the long journey with the Corps, serving a key role in the expedition's success, catching and retrieving game, and protecting the expedition team from wild animals and hostile Indians. Come along with Lewis, Clark, the Corps of Discovery, and Seaman as they meet Sacagawea who joins the expedition; form friendships with several Indian tribes; survive near-death encounters; grizzly bear attacks; and buffalo bull stampedes through the camp; cross the Continental Divide; overcome the wounding of their seemingly fearless leader, Meriwether Lewis; rejoice as they return to civilization in 1806. 1154626 1999 Seaman: The Dog Who Explored the West With Lewis and Clark (Peachtree Junior Publication) total:21|5:8|4:3|3:10|2:0|1:0| 21 82 29 8 3 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Oct 12 08:07:07 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 08:13:16 -0700 2009
