Summary

Two centuries after Lewis and Clark set off to explore the unknown land between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean, a micro-Corps of Discovery -- the author and his wife with their beat-up Subaru and a canoe -- retraces the historic trail. Although the original wilderness no longer exists, there are still adventures to be had: the author traps and tags grizzlies with wildlife biologists; ponders herds of buffalo, back from the brink of extinction; and witnesses the ancient mating dance of the sharptail grouse. This account relates a uniquely Western experience: To consider the trek of Lewis and Clark is to yearn for the land as they experienced it. To find it today, backtracking is required. Book jacket.
