On the Trail of Lewis and Clark by Bill Yenne
Follow in the footsteps of the famed explorers, from Washington DC to Washington state It has been 200 years since their epic trek across Western America, yet Lewis and Clark still evoke strong emotions. For good or ill, the captains redefined America's sense of identity, and interest is at an all-time high in reexamining their expedition and its effects. Timed for publication amid the four-year bicentennial celebration of their journey, this book retraces the path taken by Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery from 1804 to 1806. The author draws on the explorers' journals and period illustrations for historical context, and complements this material with modern color photography from the roads and rivers along the trail blazed by Lewis and Clark. Readers will also hear from history enthusiasts who are enamored by the explorers' feats as well as from those who view Lewis and Clark as villains.
Bill Yenne is the author of more than three dozen books of historical non-fiction. A Montana native, he has written extensively on the American West and has been a Lewis abd Clark scholar for many years. He has hiked, climbed, and rafted much of the Lewis and Clark trail and has visited many of the historical mileposts on their epic journey. He lives in San Francisco.
