"I read the ten year anniversary edition which contained numerous outstanding photographs shot by a National Geographic photographer.
Stephen Ambrose took his young family on the trail in the mid 70's and fell in love with the saga. He masterfully intertwines their experience with that of the expedition as they traverse the continent.
While non fiction, this work reads like fiction and does not disappoint in pace, character or narrative imagery.
He helped me to understand how incredibly important and underestimated the quest was to the establishment and development of the United States as we know it today."
"I know this book gets dissed for "plagiarism" and certain inaccuracies, but plagiarism is when you steal from one. When you steal from many, it's "research". This is simply one of the most fascinating historical works I have ever read. I could not put it down when I read it four or five years ago, and it turned me on to reading history in a very big way."
