"On 5 July 1803, Captain Meriwether Lewis set out on an epic voyage across the untamed Great Plains and into the Rockies. His brief from the president, Thomas Jefferson, was to explore the land stretching west of the Mississippi, recently purchased from Napoleon. It was completely uncharted territory; a wild, vast land ruled by the Indians, never before experienced by a white man. This book is the definitive account of this momentous journey, presenting the American West as Lewis saw it - savage, awesome and pristinely beautiful."--[book cover]
