In the years 1804, 1805, and 1806, two men commanded an expedition which explored the wilderness that stretched from the mouth of the Missouri River to where the Columbia enters the Pacific, and dedicated to civilization a new empire. Their names were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. This book relates that adventure from it’s inception through its completion as well as the effect the expedition had upon the history of the United States.

Editorial reviews

The expedition commissioned by Thomas Jefferson and led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark from 1804 to 1806 is a well-known venture to chart and explore the northwestern area of what became the United States. Here is an account in their own words of that journey, from the notes taken by Lewis and Clark. The audio contains countless remarkable stories, however it is very near to the original source document and Kevin Stilwell, who performs the journals steadily and unwaveringly, powers through the sometimes challenging accounts with journalistic gravity, rewarding any Lewis and Clark fanatic or student of early American history with a valuable and intimate look at one the country’s most renowned expeditions and it’s first impressions of the land.

Enjoyed hearing the words of Lewis & Clark. They seemed to be very accommodating and imaginative. I was amazed at what they went through and accomplished. I wish more American men would have the courage to understand such challenges without knowledge of the ending. My opinion both Lewis & Clark were bad asses! I would love to know their opinions on the state of this country today, I’m confident they would be disappointed!

Very enjoyable

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would have removed at least some of the duplicate material. It’s nice for historical accuracy, but makes listening a bit tedious.

What did you like best about this story?

The narrator was good, IMO, clear and easy to understand. And of course a great story, much more than what I was taught in school.

Much repetition.

It was a lengthy and detailed telling of the journey of the first white men to explore the American northwest in search of a route to the Pacific. The only problem with the telling was that there were redundant section in which the same text was repeated. If you could get past that problem, the story was interesting interpretation of the environment at that time.
