Day-by-Day with the Lewis and Clark Expedition : A Calendar: 1804 To 1806

Every day of the Lewis & Clark Expedition is described in present tense on calendar grids of the trek's actual 28 months, from May 14, 1804, through Sept. 26, 1806. Join the men as they start up the Missouri River into newly-purchased Upper Louisiana. Travel step by step as they haul boats against the current, fight illness & injury, hunt or trade for food, suffer the heat & the cold, scrounge for clothing, & sight wondrous places & creatures. Climb above the ends of the Missour River tributaries & then suffer the freezing Rocky Mountains crossing before reaching downstream travel at long last -- late in 1805. The second winter on the trail is nowhere as pleasant as the first, but spring 1806 brings the promise of home, eventually. Quotations.
