Chasing Lewis and Clark Across America - Book Review


Chasing Lewis and Clark Across America 'A 21st Century Aviation Adventure'


This is one of the best books I have seen and read in a very long time. The history of the Lewis and Clark Expedition comes alive within the pages of this book.

The ultimate beauty of the aerial shots of the landscape photographs takes your breath away. You are surprised at the supreme beauty of our vast country. I was amazed that most Americans seldom see such untamed beauty. These photographs capture your heart and you are in awe at the challenge that the Corp of Discovery undertook and accomplished so many years ago.

The narrative keeps you fascinated with the various types of people the ground crew met while following the trails of Lewis and Clark. Through their eyes we are allowed to see how people today live and how their lives are shaped by the geography of the area.

This book is a feast for your eyes and a treasure trove of intersting facts. It is a book everyone interested in our country should see and read. Geographers, historians, and teachers should use this book in their classrooms.

The authors have done much more than journey in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, they have touched the hearts of those who have read the book. My sincere congratulations to the authors for taking a 21st century aviation adventure showing us the beauty of our country. This is a must have, must see and read book that you will return to time after time.
