Résumé

The thrilling account of Lewis and Clark's odyssey of adventure and discovery. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's remarkable chronicle of their Voyage of Discovery across the pristine, uncharted wilderness of the American West occupies a unique place in American literature. From 1,804 to 1806 Captain Lewis and Captain Clark led their intrepid expedition on an 8,000-mile trek - from the mouth of the Missouri River to the Pacific outlet of the Columbia River.
Confronting breathtaking mountains, white-water rapids, and charging buffalo, Lewis and Clark recorded a natural world never before seen by white men : Edenic landscapes, mysterious native peoples, and the first descriptions of hundreds of plants and animals. To a young republic barely a dozen years old, the Journals offered not only a pathbreaking work of natural history, but the equivalent of a national poem : a magnificent epic for an unfinished nation.
This Penguin Classics edition includes an illuminating introductory essay, along with maps, illustrations, annotations and a comprehensive index.
