Hardback. Zustand: Very Good.

In sweltering summer heat and in temperatures 45 degrees below zero, he watched yellow moons rise and heard buffalo thunder; navigated against the Missouri River's relentless current and stood on its surface, frozen solid overnight; canoed a dozen times through Montana's magnificent White Cliffs (Lewis' "seens of visionary inchantment"); and read the journals by candlelight in the expedition's fort on the Pacific coast.

More a revisiting than a retelling of the story of the Corps of Discovery, Duncan's book reintroduces us to people and places along the trail, reflects on events large and small that occurred during the expedition, and offers constant - and constantly entertaining - insights into why, two centuries later, the saga of Lewis and Clark continues to exert such a powerful hold on our national imagination. Dayton Duncan is an award-winning writer and documentary filmmaker and the author of eight books, including Out West: A Journey through Lewis and Clark's America and Miles from Nowhere: Tales from America's Contemporary Frontier, both available in Bison Books editions.
