The Lewis and Clark expedition was the greatest camping trip in
history. It was one of those irresistible American adventures that
many people dream of living. This book shares the delightful
details of the journey that historians have gleaned from the
group's journals and maps, and also discusses what's
known of the Indian perspective of the expedition.
Throughout the book, you find out about Jefferson's
western exploration from his earliest efforts to see the Corps
assembled through the aftermath for the explorers, the tribes, and
the United States. But the focus of Lewis & Clark For
Dummies is on the period between Jefferson's confidential
letter to Congress requesting dollars to mount a western
exploration (January 18,1803) and the expedition's triumphant
(and improbable) return to St. Louis (September 23, 1806):
forty-two months that changed the world.
Join Lewis and Clark as they recruit the Corps of Discovery,
meet Sacagawea and various Indian tribes, and set off along the
Missouri River on a thrilling, perilous journey. Lewis &
Clark For Dummies also covers the following topics and
more:
* The expedition's people and places
* Jefferson's fascination with the West
* Final preparations of Meriwether Lewis
* Weathering storms to launch the expedition
* The discomforts and dangers of the journey
* Making maps and writing reports
* A first look at the Pacific Ocean
The story of Lewis and Clark doesn't end with their return
to St. Louis. This book will also lead you on an exploration of the
fates and lessons of the Corps of Discovery. Find out what happened
to Lewis, Clark, and many other key players after their famous
journey. And examine the aftermath for the American Indians and the
political and cultural ramifications for the United States.
You'll even find the resources you need to plan your own
recreation of the expedition as you take the Trail yourself!
