By William E. Hill
(Softcover)

Veteran author William Hill commemorates the Lewis and Clark Expedition bicentennial with a guide to the history and route of the Corps of Discovery.

The LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL, YESTERDAY AND TODAY, gives readers a basic history of the expedition, including the reasons Thomas Jefferson sent the explorers west. The book also describes what the territory and route looked like when the Corps of Discovery passed though it in 1804 and how it looks today. Hill utilizes old maps, journal entries and early paintings and sketches to illustrate the story. Also included are old photos of scenes along the route and corresponding photos from today.

With its exhaustive listing of interpretive centers, museums and historic sites that can be found along the Lewis and Clark Trail, this book is an invaluable resource for those interested in experiencing the adventures of Lewis and Clark first hand.
