Book excerpt: “An unexpected story and a gem of a book.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The incomparable Campbell McGrath, whom Outside magazine calls, “A writer who could help save poetry from academia and get the rest of us reading it again,” delivers an astounding work: Shannon, an epic poem that traces the remarkable journey of the youngest member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The Kansas City Star praises Shannon as, “A luminescent narrative…a myth of American character before its corruption,” and Campbell McGrath—Poet Laureate, Guggenheim Fellowship, Pushcart Prize, and three-time Academy of American Poets Prize winner—proves once again to be truly an “everyman poet” who channels the spirit of Walt Whitman in this lyrical adventure.

It brings an in-depth perspective to applicable military law, the controversial Courts-Martial procedure, the Corps as an elite military unit, the development of the manpower, as well as major questions on ethnic history. It has thirteen appendixes furnishing current issues and explanatory materials suitable for lectures and other presentations. The story portion of the book relates to the formation events and personnel of the Corps of Discovery as seen through the eyes of young Pvt. George Shannon, the youngest, but third most formally educated member of the Corps of Discovery. Young Shannon's growing heroes were his Captains. Shannon's later life was mentored and given direction by Captain Clark who obtained Shannon's acceptance at the prestigious Transylvania University. While there, he became friends with influential families and individuals such as Stephen Austin and Cassius Clay. He became a friend and political ally of Andrew Jackson, who later appointed him as U. S. Attorney for Missouri. In this book the events of the expedition were later reviewed through the eyes and perspective of this older George Shannon who had become a lawyer, judge, U. S. Attorney, legislator and hardened political leader.
