Lewis & Clark

This companion volume to Ken Burns's PBS documentary captures the epic journey of the Corps of Discovery, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, as they set out in 1804 to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. With a diverse crew that included soldiers, a slave named York, and the Shoshone woman Sacagawea, they sought the elusive Northwest Passage while documenting unknown flora and fauna and engaging with various Indigenous cultures. Featuring over 150 illustrations, including journal excerpts and contributions from notable writers, this beautifully illustrated homage brings to life one of America's most enduring adventures and its profound impact on the nation.
