This amazing work presents the adventure of Lewis and Clark through
the eyes of its participants. -- School Library Journal (starred
review)
In powerful, lyrical language, here is the journey of Lewis and Clark
told by themselves and their diverse crew -- from a one-eyed
French-Indian fiddler to Clark's African-American slave; from Sacagawea
to Lewis's Newfoundland dog, a seer whose narrative resonates long after
the book is closed.
