Historical
Between 1803 and 1806, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
co-captained the most famous expedition in American history.
But while Lewis ended his life just three years later,
Clark, as the highest-ranking federal official in the West,
spent three decades overseeing its consequences: Indian
removal and the destruction of Native America. In a rare
combination of storytelling and scholarship, bestselling
author Landon Y. Jones vividly depicts Clark's life and the
dark and bloody ground of America's early West, capturing
the qualities of character and courage that made Clark an
unequaled leader in America's grander enterprise: the
shaping of the West.
