Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Across the Continent: The Story of the Exploring Expedition of Lewis and Clark in 1803-4-5 This edition was republished in London, Dublin, Ger many, Holland, New York, and Paris during years ensuing. Altogether, there have been about forty imprints of the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The two latest of these are those of Harper and Brothers, edited by Archi bald m'vickar, and published in 1847 and that edited by Dr. Elliott Goues, and published by Francis P. Harper, New York, 1893. Dr. M'vickar's work is long since out of print. That of Dr. Coues, comprised in four volumes and limited to an edition of one thousand copies, can now be obtained with difficulty and at considerable expense. It is hoped that the present version of the story of the expe dition, told as fully as possible in the language of the heroic men who modestly penned the record of their own doings and observations, will be acceptable to many read ers, especially to young folks, who will here read for the first time a concise narrative of the first exploring expedi tion sent into a wilderness destined to become the seat of a mighty empire.

Download or read book Lewis Clark written by Dayton Duncan and published by Knopf. This book was released on 1999-08-31 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beautifully illustrated story of two unlikely friends who led the United States’ first expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage—based on the acclaimed PBS documentary. In the spring of 1804, at the behest of President Thomas Jefferson, a party of explorers called the Corps of Discovery crossed the Mississippi River and started up the Missouri, heading west into the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. The expedition, led by two remarkable and utterly different commanders—the brilliant but troubled Meriwether Lewis and his trustworthy, gregarious friend William Clark— was to be the United States' first exploration into unknown spaces. The unlikely crew came from every corner of the young nation: soldiers from New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and Kentucky, French Canadian boatmen, several sons of white fathers and Indian mothers, a slave named York, and eventually a Shoshone Indian woman, Sacagawea, who brought along her infant son. Together they would cross the continent, searching for the fabled Northwest Passage that had been the great dream of explorers since the time of Columbus. Along the way they would face incredible hardship, disappointment, and danger; record in their journals hundreds of animals and plants previously unknown to science; encounter a dizzying diversity of Indian cultures; and, most of all, share in one of America's most enduring adventures. Their story may have passed into national mythology, but never before has their experience been rendered as vividly, in words and pictures, as in this marvelous homage by Dayton Duncan. Plentiful excerpts from the journals kept by the two captains and four enlisted men convey the raw emotions, turbulent spirits, and constant surprises of the explorers, who each day confronted the unknown with fresh eyes. An elegant preface by Ken Burns, as well as contributions from Stephen E. Ambrose, William Least Heat-Moon, and Erica Funkhouser, enlarge upon important threads in Duncan's narrative, demonstrating the continued potency of events that took place almost two centuries ago. And a wealth of paintings, photographs, journal sketches, maps, and film images from the PBS documentary lends this historic, nation-redefining milestone a vibrancy and immediacy to which no American will be immune.
