Undaunted courage : Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the opening of the American West / Stephen E. Ambrose.

Summary:

This sweeping adventure story presents an account of one of the most momentous journeys of American history, Lewis and Clark's expedition up the Missouri. It follows the Lewis and Clark expedition from Thomas Jefferson's hope of finding a waterway to the Pacific, through heat-stopping moments of the actual trip, to Lewis' lonely demise on the Natchez Trace. Along the way, it shows us the American west as Lewis saw it- wild, awesome, and pristinely beautiful. This book is a stunningly told action tale that will delight readers for generations. -- Publisher description.
