Tremendous detail about events that are almost stranger than fiction. Long and involved but worth the ride. Amazing that the history would have been impossible without a huge amount of goodwill from Native Americans along the trip. (  ) Gary10 | Nov 25, 2008 | If you ever had any curiosity or interest in Lewis and Clark, this book is a must read. ( ) milkmanson | Oct 21, 2008 | Ambrose manages to get both too melodramatic and too casual on occasion throughout this book, but it's nonetheless a wonderful read. Highly recommended. atheist_goat | Oct 17, 2008 | Very readable, as Ambrose usually is. ( ) tearley | Sep 28, 2008 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

One of the amazing things about the Lewis and Clark journey was how the Corp of Discovery would temporarily split up then re-unite hundreds of miles downstream. They would do this by leaving a note on the riverbank for the other party. Seems like they left a lot to chance, doesn't it?
The operatic ending has Mr. Lewis alone in a shack on the Natchez Trace with the "failures" of his life running through his brain. A tragic ending to an exhilarating story.
Will somebody please adapt Undaunted Courage into a musical or opera? (
