| Publisher Description: This amazing work presents the adventure of Lewis and Clark through the eyes of its participants. -- School Library Journal (starred review) In powerful, lyrical language, here is the journey of Lewis and Clark told by themselves and their diverse crew -- from a one-eyed French-Indian fiddler to Clark's African-American slave; from Sacagawea to Lewis's Newfoundland dog, a seer whose narrative resonates long after the book is closed.
