Editorial Review:In 1804-1806 Lewis and Clark made the most important and widely known expedition in American history. Now their journey is recreated is recreated in the bicentennial edition of the best-selling National Geographic Guide to the Lewis & Clark Trail. Along with major television and film events, this book will feature prominently in National Geographic's upcoming celebration of the expedition's anniversary. This is the only full-color guide to Lewis and Clark's America, and its lavishly illustrated photographs and maps are evocative of the landscapes, animals, and native people of an unspoiled America. Distinctive among guides, this book is organized practically for easy trip planning and details essential visitor information along with suggestions for excursions by foot, boat, and country road to help travelers capture the sense and spirit of the pioneers.
Author Thomas Schmidt vividly describes Native American cultures and natural histories of the bioregions Lewis and Clark encountered, contrasting their past and present conditions. He puts the entire route into a compelling historical context, complete with biographical sketches of the legendary explorers, sidebars on everything from planning to weaponry, and treasured diary excerpts. No other guide so expertly brings to life the events, places, and people of Lewis and Clark's extraordinary and unforgettable odyssey.

Rating:  - Best Trip Companion
On a Trip to Retrace Lewis & Clark's Route from Great Falls MO.to Clarkston WA. this Book was a valuable Trip Companion. It guided beautifully, helped to find important Places and explained them in detail once there.Glad we bought this Book before starting our Trip
Rating:  - Lewis and Clark, where to go
For anyone wishing to visit historic locations along the trail of Lewis and Clark's expedition, this is the best summary you can find. Tom Schmidt does an excellent job of collecting information from the Lewis and Clark Journals and relating this all to the sites we can all visit along the trail.
Rating: - Great companion to "Along the Trail with Lewis and Clark"
Done in great National Geo style, with stunning photos, this is a great "pocket" guide to the Lewis and Clark Trail. However, with it's lack of maps, it needs to be used in concert with larger, more detailed guides, such as "Along the Trail with Lewis and Clark" by Barbara Fifer, et al. If you are among the many contemplating hitting the Trail, this book will come in handy.
