They passed right by my property.

I wish someone would do a movie or mini series on the expedition.

"For history buffs, may I also recommend "Son of the Morning Star", by Evan Connell it is incredibly well-researched and written, and is the best account of Custer and the Little Bighorn that I have ever read."

Reread it this summer, still my favorite Custer book. Undaunted Courage is also a great read, my only complaint is how many dogs they ate, . We have the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center here in Great Falls, worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.

I read Undaunted Courage when it was published, and consider it one of the best accounts of the expedition. His WWII books are where he ran into some problems, and it may be that he relied too much on grad students to assemble some chapters and didn't proof read them sufficiently prior to publication.

I enjoyed the book. If you read the forward, he says he made the decision to write the book at an aunt's house in Normal, IL. That is where I have lived for the past 55 years, so I found that an extra treat.

I am a huge fan of the Corps of Discovery and have been to the Sgt Floyd Memorial and another of their camps along the Missouri in South Dakota. I have followed Missouri by car North of Omaha also.

I found it very intriguing that they could build such powerful large caliber air guns that long ago. Brilliant engineering and craftsmanship!

I read it a few years ago. I have decided that anything written by Ambrose is a great read.

Many say it's his best documentary.
