[George]

An excellent historical account of the lives of Lewis and Clark and the intrepid men who endured the hardship and adventure of their unprecedented mission of discovery. The book follows the legendary characters long after the end of their journey, to inform the reader of their lives, their destinies, and family histories.

[Erik]

This is more of a biography on Lewis and Clark than a strict history of their voyage to the Pacific, although that takes up the majority of the book. Starts with a little on their early lives and time in the army before the expedition and goes through to their deaths. The prose is very readable and engaging. I know most people will go to Undaunted Courage: The Pioneering First Mission to Explore America's Wild Frontier for a book about Lewis and Clark, but this is an interesting and fair read that should be considered.

There exists an epub-file of this title at archive.org, which is full of the usual OCR-scanning faults.

I have taken that file, made many corrections to it and uploaded it here. You can also find it at http://archive.org/details/LewisClark...

A very engaging read. Lewis & Clark are heroes. The heartbreaking aspect of their mission is the Indian policy of Jefferson.
