Jeffpg: I have been to St Louis, Missouri and I have been to Astoria, Oregon. I have been to most every place in between that Lewis & Clark trundled along in their boats and on their horses.
I never cease to be in awe of the courage, stamina and perseverance that group of Americans had!
I stopped just yesterday at "Beaverhead Rock" on the Beaverhead River where Lewis & Clark camped at a hot spring there and bathed.
Mr. Ambrose did a superb job on Undaunted Courage.
Undaunted Courage is NOT just a "good book" it is a fantastic book!
Hold into the wind
