William Clark and Meriwether Lewis set out together from Illinois in 1804 leading a team of more than forty-five fellow trekkers on an expedition across North America. Along the way, they risked death by grizzly bears, endured extreme weather conditions, and suffered near-starvation on their dangerous odyssey to the Pacific Ocean. Despite the harsh circumstances, the pair discovered and documented many rivers, animals, and mountains, and forged relationships with several Native American tribes. The story of these brave men with extraordinary drive and courage inspired many Americans to migrate west. Book jacket.
