The Way to the Western Sea: Lewis and Clark across the Continent

The epic adventure of Lewis and Clark's expedition across vast, uncharted territory is brought to life in this masterful history by David Lavender.

With vivid prose, he sets the stage for the imperial rivalries between England, Spain, France, and the United States, and their role in Thomas Jefferson's decision to sponsor an expedition that might strengthen the young country's claims to lands it had purchased but never seen.

The great adventure story unfolds as we follow Lewis and Clark and their company on their journey through thousands of miles of uncharted territory, seeking a transcontinental route to the Pacific.

With trials, surprises, natural wonders, and successes large and small, this expedition is a true classic of adventure writing and historical storytelling.
