The Lewis and Clark expedition through Seaman’s eyes

Framed as a journal based on entries in Meriwether Lewis’s records, the book recounts the expedition from the viewpoint of Seaman, Lewis’s Newfoundland dog. Its scope includes the preparations before departure and the party’s journey to the Pacific and back, described in the source as spanning three years and more than 8,000 miles. Native American guides and friends appear along the way, including Sacajawea, whose husband served as interpreter and guide. The canine perspective gives this account of exploration a distinct organizing lens while keeping the expedition’s people and encounters in view.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in Lewis and Clark or exploration history
  • Young readers who enjoy animal-centered accounts of historical events
  • Families seeking a nonfiction-style introduction to the expedition

Book overview

The award-winning tale following the journey of Lewis and Clark, told from the perspective of Seaman, the adventurous Newfoundland dog.

When Seaman, a Newfoundland dog, met his new master in August of 1803, he didn't know that he would spend the next three years on an adventure of more than 8,000 miles to the Pacific Ocean and back. Seaman's Journal is based on actual entries in Meriwether Lewis s journal describing Seaman, and it presents an account of the Lewis and Clark expedition as seen from the viewpoint of Lewis s dog.

Join Seaman before the trip as preparations take place. Meet the Native American guides and friends they encountered along the way. And read of Seaman's love for Sacajawea, the Shoshone woman whose husband acted as interpreter and guide.
