The Great Expedition of Lewis and Clark

Rating:
Summary: A first-person, folksy narrative brings history live
Review: In 1803 a young farmer Reubin Field enlisted for a journey headed by Lewis and Clark. Edwards focuses on his experiences, imagining what his voice might have been like and what his experiences would've been on the 2-year plus journey. The result is Judith Edwards' Great Exploration of Lewis & Clark, a first-person, folksy narrative brings history live with facts blended with rich observational insights.
