I've got somewhat of an interest in the Lewis and Clark
journey; as an exploration but more so because of the beauty of the country
they traveled in. I've retraced much of their route, including their
forts on the Pacific. Great experience
to them and me. is outstanding. Their Journeys are available in paperback: THE JOURNALS OF
LEWIS AND CLARK, Penguin Books 1995. this is the literal journal with
lots of misspellings, but does have some explanitary foot notes. An
excellent read p483, and travel guide somewhat. If you’re not a dyed in wool historical, “IN THE FOOTSTEPS
OF LEWIS AND CLARK". National Geographic Society, by G. Snyder (195 pgs)
is a modern retracing of the L&C route with authors own trip. It
tells the story of L&C very well with many great historical paintings
and modern photographs. A large book
that is easy to read. Best is it has lots of small maps embedded in the
text to visualize the trip. A must read
for anyone living within a half days drive of the Missouri/clearwater/snake/Columbia
rivers. Edited by BEAR - 05 November 2018 at 08:37 |

I read a lot of historical books and have read the original journal and agree it's a very interesting read. If you are interested in that kind of book there are quite a few old journals of early Africa exploration that are good reads also.

I have an original pressing of The Dark Continent and The Boer Wars if you care for a good read.
Favorite section was on the use of the flintlocks on grizz. Priceless. Interesting their response to the Flatheads of the west coast as well. |

In 2001 my daughter & I took a canoe trip down the Missouri....3 days 2 nites....think we started at Coal Banks Landing and came out at Judith Landing. After the float we went to GF's to see the diorama exhibit of L&C expedition to learn more of their adventure.
