This is from 1970, so you have to keep that in mind. I thought it was awesome because it gives you the sense how dangerous this journey was finding it out along the way eventually getting to the Pacific Ocean.

I live in the Rockies, but originally from New England. I understand the sense of adventuring into unknown regions Lewis & Clark had. I love exploring new zones. If you have that mindset, you'll dig this book.

It is a good fast read.

A pretty good book following the steps of these explorers with fantastic pictures and drawings. It could have added a bit more about the expedition but for what is given its pretty good.

Junior high textbook, found in a Little Free Library. Good, somewhat simplistic, overview.

Good overview of their journey. Old book. National Geographic maps, photos and illustrations.

This book tells me a lot of things I have not learned. It was cool that they compared what the route was like now to what it was like before. I like the illustrations and pictures. It was funny that they messed up Lewis' dog's name. I asked an expert and he told me that his dog's name was "Seaman", not "Scannon". Though it is a little weird to call a dog "Scannon". =)

I enjoyed this book much more than I expected! It was written in 1970 by a professor who took his family on a trip similar to Lewis and Clark's. Nice mixture of journal writings from the expedition and from this professor's observations. Fun photos and illustrations. Delightful!
