A journey across the newly acquired Louisiana Territory
Judith St. George’s account introduces the Lewis and Clark Expedition through its central geographical ambition: finding a water route across the western part of the United States. The expedition’s 1804 departure from St. Louis and its eventual arrival at the Pacific frame a two-year journey through territory that was little known to the explorers. The hoped-for waterway was not found, giving the book a clear way to connect the expedition’s original mission with the journey’s actual outcome. The subject is presented as an exploration narrative grounded in a specific moment of U.S. history.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Young readers interested in U.S. history and exploration
