Also included are the explorers' encounters with Native Americans, featuring the amazing reunion between Sacagawea and her brother, a Shoshone chief who secured the expedition's safe passage over the Continental Divide. Landon Jones has selected the most memorable journal entries left behind by Lewis and Clark, and then edited and annotated them for all readers-those steeped in lore of the expedition, and newcomers to this unforgettable journey.
