Most narratives emphasize Lewis and Clarks adventures through their journey to the Bitterroot Mountains but have said little about the rest of their travels west of there. River of Promise fills a significant gap in our understanding of Lewis and Clarks legendary expedition. Historian David L. Nicandri shifts the focus to an essential goal of the explorers: to discover the headwaters of the Columbia and a water route to the Pacific Ocean. He also restores William Clark in his role as the primary geographic problem-solver of the partnership. Most historians assume that Meriwether Lewis was a more distinguished scientist than Clark because of his formal training in Philadelphia and superior writing skills. Here we see Clark as Lewiss equal as scientific geographer, not merely the practical manager of boats and personnel. Nicandri places the legend of Sacagawea in clearer perspective by focusing instead on the contributions of often-overlooked Indian leaders in Columbia River country. He also offers many points of comparison to other explorers and a provocative analysis of Lewiss suicide in 1809, arguing that it was not a sudden event but fruit of a seed planted much earlier, quite possibly in Columbia country. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1234108 Dalton reexamines many of Lewis and Clarks discoveries, and their identification of new plants and animals, in the light of modern science to show their lasting biological significance.

Lewis and Clark had several charges, among them the discovery of a Northwest Passage - a land route across the continent - in order to establish an American fur trade with China. In addition, the Corps of Northwestern Discovery, as the expedition was called, cataloged new plant and annual life, and performed detailed ethnographic research on the Indians they encountered. Native America, Discovered and Conquered lays out in fascinating detail how their explorations, combined with the Doctrine of Discovery and Jeffersons strategies, became the legal basis for Americas ownership of the Pacific Northwest, the removal of Indian people, and the adoption of the Doctrine of Discovery into American law.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=676347 A juvenile biography of the courageous Shoshone woman who accompanied the Lewis and Clark expedition--Provided by publisher. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=615478 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909582 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=630255 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1528005 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=921139 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=720418 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=676363 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=924529 A group of young Dakota Indians encounters members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=908038 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=720370 Sacajawea, a Shoshoni woman, and York, a slave, assist Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their westward expedition; Sacajawea using her knowledge of the land, and York using his superior hunting skills. When Lewis and Clarks Corps of Discovery set out in the spring of 1804, they had chosen to go on an unprecedented, extremely dangerous journey. It would be the adventure of a lifetime. Unlike others in the group, two key members chose to join the hazardous expedition: York, Clarks slave, and Sacajawea, considered to be the property of Charbonneau, the expeditions translator. The unique knowledge and skills Sacajawea and York had were essential to the success of the trip. The dual stories of these two outsiders, who earned their way into the inner core of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, shed new light on one of the most exciting and important undertakings in American history. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909637 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909614 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=919059 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1354354 Time travelers Eli and Thea arrive in Missouri in 1804, where they meet Thomas Jefferson and other famous people, then Eli joins the Corps of Discovery, hoping to find Clyne so that the three friends can return to the Fifth Dimension. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=593066 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=919076 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=500657 A biography of the Shoshoni woman who served on the Lewis and Clark Expedition as a guide and interpreter. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=534114 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=899557 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=500658 A biography of Sacagawea, the Shoshoni Indian woman who played an important role in guiding the Lewis and Clark expedition through the Northwest Territory of the United States in 1805-1806. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909627 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909616 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909640 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909800 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=516904 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909621 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=901098 As the Lewis and Clark Expedition traveled west, white explorers and Native American peoples encountered each other for the first time.

Meet new tribes of American Indians and find out how a U.S. Presidents dream came true. This book describes in detail the lives of adventurous people who stepped out of their everyday lives and who encountered the people and places of the West when they were thought of as wild. Each book in the series uses reconstruction illustrations and photographs along with clear text and fact boxes to bring the story of our nation to life. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=908199 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909628 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909638 [This book] is about the expedition that Meriweather Lewis and William Clark led across the North American continent and back to St. Louis between 1803 and 1806. It is about the journals that they and other members of the expedition kept, the people who accompanied them and those they met along the way, and the animals they killed and those that transformed them ... It is about naming, discovery, being an explorer, finding yourself, and losing your way--P. xiii. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=509315 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909596 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909610 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=491050 Relates the adventures of York, a slave and body servant to William Clark, who journeyed west with the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=501749 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=447121 In their own words, recorded in the famous journals of Lewis and Clark, the members of the Corps of Discovery tell their story with an immediacy and power missing from secondhand accounts. All of their triumphs and terrors are here - the thrill of seeing the vast herds of bison on the plains, the tensions and admiration in the first meetings with Indian peoples, Lewiss rapture at the stunning beauty of the Great Falls, the fear the captains felt when a devastating illness befell Sacagawea, the ordeal of crossing the Continental Divide, Clarks joy at seeing the Pacific, miserable days of cold and hunger, and the kidnapping and rescue of Lewiss dog, Seaman. The natural wonders of an unspoiled America are captured in these pages. The lives and customs of its Native peoples also vividly come to life: Lewis and Clarks friendship with the Mandans and the Nez Perces, a deadly fight with the Blackfeet, and a series of intricate interactions and negotiations with numerous northwestern tribes. The cultural differences between the corps and the Indians make for living drama that at times provokes laughter but more often is poignant and, at least once, tragic. In this riveting account, editor Gary E. Moulton blends the narrative highlights of his definitive Nebraska edition of the Lewis and Clark journals. For the first time the voices of the enlisted men and of the Native Americans are heard alongside the words of the captains. New maps and illustrations enrich this American epic of discovery.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=496669 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=496553 A brief account of the exploratory expedition led by Lewis and Clark across the little known territory from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean in the early nineteenth century. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=901125 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909620 Presented in a chronological style, this book interweaves history and description of the historic Lewis and Clark expedition with discussions of their cooking methods.

Includes highlights and directions to historical points of interest. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=471525 An account, told in the words of one participant, of the difficulties and wonders that were part of the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the land obtained as part of the Louisiana Purchase. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=450322 An introduction to the lives of Lewis and Clark and to the exploratory expedition they led from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean in the early nineteenth century. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=442524 Exploring Lewis and Clark probes beneath the traditional narrative of the journey, looking beyond the perspectives of the explorers themselves to those of the woman and the men who accompanied them, as well as of the Indians who met them along the way. It reexamines the journals and what they suggest about Lewiss and Clarks misinterpretations of the worlds they passed through and the people in them. Thomas Slaughter portrays Lewis and Clark not as heroes but as men - brave, bound by cultural prejudices and blindly hell-bent on achieving their goal. He searches for the woman Sacajawea rather than the icon that she has become. He seeks the historical rather than the legendary York, Clarks slave. He discovers what the various tribes made of the expedition, including the notion that this multiracial, multiethnic group was embarked on a search for spiritual meaning.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=430872 Meriwether Lewis and William Clarks expedition to the Pacific Ocean and back in the early nineteenth century is the most famous journey in American history. But its very fame has obscured its oddness. Its public image of discovery and triumphant return has veiled its private stories of longing and loss, of self-discovery and mutual ignorances, of good luck and mischance and fortunate misunderstanding. Rather than concentrate exclusively on the expedition, Brian Hall has chosen to focus on emblematic moments through the whole range of the lives of its participants. Ever present as a backdrop is the violent collision of white and Native American cultures, and the broader tragedy of the inability of any human being to truly understand what lies in the heart of another. Hall has written the novel in four competing voices. The primary one is that of Lewis, the troubled and mercurial figure who found that it was impossible to enter paradise without having it crumble around him. Hall brings this enigmatic character to life as no historian ever has. A second voice is that of the Shoshone girl-captive Sacagawea, interpretor on the expedition, whose short life of disruption and displacement mirrored the times in which she lived. Other perspectives are provided by William Clark and by Toussaint Charbonneau, the French fur trader who took Sacagawea as his wife.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=452409 Discusses Lewis and Clarks journey of discovery to the Pacific Ocean. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=547164 Includes works of art by the following artists : Charles Wilson Peale, Michael Haynes, William Jacob Hays, Sr., Alfred Jacob Miller, Karl Bodmer, Frederic Remington, L.

Lewis and Clark: Across the Divide also follows the explorers steps by reconstructing the richly physical worlds of the expeditions. Gathered in this volume are 400 illustrations, the results of a five-year enterprise to trace and authenticate the original artifacts, documents, maps, and artworks of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Scattered for two hundred years, the surviving physical evidence is now reassembled from more than fifty lending institutions and individuals across the United States. The result is a new view of the equipment the expedition used as well as the color, complexity, and diversity of the cultures they encountered - items that gave the young Republic its first glimpse of what later became the cross-continental nation. A concluding essay weaves together contemporary tribal perspectives to summarize Native American experiences since Lewis and Clarks visit, mapping out a powerful - and hopeful - vision for the future.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=460020 Joins the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the summer of 1805 as it leaves the Three Forks of the Missouri area and travels through the Bitteroot Mountains. Includes highlights and directions to historical points of interest. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=474711 A biography of the Shoshone girl, Sacagawea, from age eleven when she was kidnapped by the Hitdatsa to the end of her journey with Lewis and Clark, plus speculation about her later life. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=509491 Describes the expedition led by Lewis and Clark to explore the unknown western regions of America at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Includes related activities. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=924118 Stone Heart is a gripping retelling of the story of American legend Sacajawea, the young Shoshoni woman who traveled with Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the West. Presented in Sacajaweas own voice juxtaposed with excerpts from Lewis and Clarks diaries, it is a work of moving and illuminating fiction cast from a famed piece of history that has long been masked by myth. Lewis and Clark recorded the external journey, its physical challenges and wonders. Glancys Sacajawea experiences the expedition on a different plane, one that lies between the terrestrial and the magical, where clouds speak and ghost horses roam the plains. Both stunningly imagined and meticulously faithful to events, Stone Heart draws a lingering portrait of a woman of resilience and courage. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=456756 Discusses the early nineteenth-century journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark through the Louisiana Purchase and beyond, for the purpose of exploring the land and establishing friendly relations with native peoples. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=908206 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=909631 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1565442 A brief biography of Sacagawea, the Shoshoni woman who accompanied explorers Lewis and Clark on their expedition in the early 1800s. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1552683 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=414391 Retraces the Lewis and Clark journey and blends their observations of previously unknown animals with modern information about those same animals. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=528319 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=405774 What must it have been like to be the first to circumnavigate the globe or traverse America from shore to shore?
