"The trials and hardships that the first explorers had to go through is a test of men's will power and devotion to make new discoveries. Although the writing is not that good it is amazing that they were able to keep such a consistent and accurate journal. This alone merits 5 stars."
"Lewis & Clark were amazing. President Jefferson sent them to explore the west and try to find an easy trade route so the US could get a piece of the Canadian fur trading pie. I think about some of the "survival" type reality shows nowadays and how they would make L & C laugh. Nothing stopped them--illness, marauding Indians, grizzlies, being accidentally shot (Lewis), subfreezing temperatures, existing on roots for weeks, etc. And their journals were extraordinarily detailed daily records of the geography, flora & fauna. Some of the records are a little monotonous but their creative spelling made it "extreamly" entertaining to me :)"
