I quite enjoyed this book. There were Indian tribes mentioned that I had never heard of. It was also a surprise to me that they where shocked at the size of the bears they encountered.
Great overview of intrepid men on an incredible journey. The author admits upfront it. Is an overview so there should not be any disappointment from anyone. I listened to this while on trail and it made my nagging aches feel much better....plus I did not have to do humongous portages and I had a goo

Easy reading and quick summary of the Corps of Discovery. Gives the reader a pretty good idea of one of the great adventures in American history
