Publisher's Synopsis
The Travels of Lewis and Clarke is a historical account of the famous expedition led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clarke from St. Louis, Missouri to the Pacific Ocean in 1804-1806. The book details the journey of the explorers as they traveled up the Missouri River, crossed the Rocky Mountains, and descended the Columbia River to the Pacific Coast. Along the way, Lewis and Clarke encountered many Native American tribes, including the Mandan, Shoshone, and Nez Perce, and documented the flora and fauna of the western United States.
