5.0 out of 5 stars An extraordinary travelogue of a classic American road trip., April 26, 1999
By A Customer
When a review copy of Dayton Duncan's "Out West" arrived in the Ohio newsroom where I worked in the mid-1980s, I snagged it and devoured it within days. I knew right then I'd have to make the trip myself someday. When I got the chance to write a guidebook to the trail in the early 1990s ("Traveling the Lewis & Clark Trail," also available via amazon.com), "Out West" rode shotgun with the Lewis & Clark journals on my pickup seat. "Out West" is among the best American road books ever written, full of insight about the Lewis & Clark Expedition and how America has changed in the 200 years since then. From Duncan's "road rules" to his insider tips on the best cafes and most colorful characters along the way, you can't go wrong going "Out West" with Dayton Duncan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring!, January 20, 1999
By A Customer
I recently read "Out West" after reading Ambrose's "Undaunted Courage" and exploring the Yellowsone and Missouri Rivers in Montana. Dayton Duncon does an awesome job at desribing the landscape, people, and histoty of this amazing land, as well as dealing with problems the land and people face. His humous insights and courage to get up and go inspires me to want to head out west in the footsteps of Captains Lewis, Clark, and Duncan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant reading, April 28, 2000
Duncan's Out West is an immensely enjoyable read! His humor, insight and detail make the book one of my all-time favorites. I grew up only ~3 miles from where the cover photo was taken, I have since relocated. This book takes me home.
