Lewis and Clark
4By PurebullA quick enjoyable read. The history and hardships of the explorers of the Louisiana Purchase from St. Louis to the shores of the Pacific and back is a fascinating story. I was intrigued by how much they had to live off the land. Their dependence and cooperation with the various Indian tribes they encountered proved crucial to the success of the mission.Lewis and Clark were leaders of men. Their lives meant something.
