A decent overview of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Ambrose provides a detailed narrative of the preparation, journey and aftermath of the adventure. He is clearly much to in love with the subject however spending an inordinate amount of time on the preparation and post journey developments for my liking.

Still the book offers an excellent glimpse into life on the frontier and the exciting adventure undertaken.
