Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
A dramatic slice of America's past comes to life in this exuberant picture book, which unites compelling artwork with a judicious use of the explorers' own words. Schanzer's (Ezra in Pursuit) meticulous research into the exploits of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark convey an enviable knack for ferreting out the kind of details that make for an intelligent and lively rendition of their famous trek. From the mundane (being pestered by fleas) to the daunting (stalwart Sacagawea gives birth halfway through the trip) to the hair-raising (being chased by an enraged grizzly), the author records the particulars that put flesh on the dry bones of history. Selections from dated journal entries ("Encamped one night at a bold running creek I called Hungry Creek as we had nothing to eat," writes Clark) lend freshness and immediacy, and are accompanied by abundantly detailed acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations on rough canvas, which give the pages an interesting visual texture. Tidbits of information are tucked into captions that accompany small porthole-shaped scenes or half-page vignettes and alternate with broad vistas of land and sea. Through it all, readers gain an appreciation for the scope of the journey (maps on the endpapers give an overview) and for the exceptional bravery of this crew. This outstanding picture book is a must-have for anyone with an interest in American history. Ages 6-up. (Oct.)
