Description
By: Allan Wolf
"This amazing work presents the adventure of Lewis and Clark through the eyes of its participants." — School Library Journal (starred review)
In powerful, lyrical language, here is the journey of Lewis and Clark told by themselves and their diverse crew — from a one-eyed French-Indian fiddler to Clark’s African-American slave; from Sacagawea to Lewis’s Newfoundland dog, a "seer" whose narrative resonates long after the book is closed.

A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age
A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
A Lion and the Unicorn Honor Winner for Excellence in North American Poetry
Two starred reviews (Kirkus, School Library Journal)
