Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Although complete versions of the journals of Lewis and Clark are readily available, readers daunted by the task of wading through approximately one million words will welcome this condensed edition of their incredible journey. In order to concentrate on the "human drama" of the expedition, Jones has excised most of the celestial, navigational, and scientific data Thomas Jefferson requested Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to record. Instead, he offers excerpts that focus on the seminal junctures of the journey, including their reactions to the breathtaking physical majesty of the West, their initial encounters with various Native American tribes, and their fascinating accounts of the physical and moral courage of their fellow travelers. Juxtaposing entries by the precise and poetic Lewis with the earthy and enthusiastic Clark, Jones has provided a vivid panorama of an epic undertaking. An essentially digestible slice of history. Margaret Flanagan

Review

“A powerful and concise version of the journals.” -- Travel & Leisure

"In The Essential Lewis and Clark, Landon Jones presents the highlights of an Americn classic by letting Lewis and Clark tell their story in their own words." -- Dayton R. Duncan, writer and producer of Ken Burns' PBS documentary, Lewis & Clark

"Landon Jones has delivered a handy, accessible version of the Lewis and Clark journals, jut right for the millions of intrepid travelers who will want to retrace the explorers' path in commemoration of the expedition's bicentennial. This book should encourage the reader to delve further into this fascinating chapter of American history, by reading the entire journals. -- David Borlaug, President, National Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Council

"St. Louis has had some national heroes who have excited the nation as a whole. Today, it is Mark McGuire. Earlier in this century, it was Charles Lindberg. Even earlier in the previous century, it was the fascinating duo of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Landon Jones has ever-so-skillfully assembled the journals of Lewis and Clark as to allow today's readers to become participants in their historic journey." -- Thomas F. Eagleton, former U.S. senator of the State of Missouri

“Landon Jones has done an excellent job of picking out what is essential and leaving out the rest. Anyone who wants to know more about how Lewis and Clark...accomplished what they did...should have this book.” -- Stephen E. Ambrose
