Get this one.

Sure beats Peter Lourie's "On the Trail of Sacagawea" Enough text to be challenging -- good for an elementary-age book report. Great for ideas for diorama building -- the illustrations and photos are first-rate. Small inset boxes give detailed information and add a lot to the book. This is the best early book for putting all the Native American tribes into context -- in fact, it is the only book we found that mentions every group of Native Americans and describes Clark's interviews with them.

Super work.

This book has fun projects -- how to make mocassins and other stuff -- as well as excellent pictures to go with a reasonable amount of text. I look forward to sharing this with my daughter when she's old enough to enjoy it! I just happen to like things about the Lewis & Clark journey and got this before she's ready for it.
