Product Description
This handy, illustrated guidebook follows the 1803-06 Voyage of Discovery over paved roads, taking readers to all the major Lewis and Clark landmarks between St. Louis, Missouri, and the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon. The adventure of the trip itself forms the core of the text - guiding readers to sites (presented as individual entries), describing events, tying them all to physical locations. The book describes each of the major Indian cultures encountered by Lewis and Clark and sketches the natural history of the major bioregions along the route, with special attention to some of the plants and animals Meriwether Lewis first described for science. The author follows the material from east to west, dividing it into the following regions: Lower Missouri, Great Plains, Upper Missouri, the Rockies, and the Columbia.

 Lewis and Clark, where to go, 2006-11-11
For anyone wishing to visit historic locations along the trail of Lewis and Clark's expedition, this is the best summary you can find. Tom Schmidt does an excellent job of collecting information from the Lewis and Clark Journals and relating this all to the sites we can all visit along the trail.

Great companion to "Along the Trail with Lewis and Clark", 1998-10-09
Done in great National Geo style, with stunning photos, this is a great "pocket" guide to the Lewis and Clark Trail. However, with it's lack of maps, it needs to be used in concert with larger, more detailed guides, such as "Along the Trail with Lewis and Clark" by Barbara Fifer, et al. If you are among the many contemplating hitting the Trail, this book will come in handy.
