Editorial Review:
In this multiple award winning book, photographer Richard Mack has brought the vistas and majesty of the Lewis & Clark Trail to life in a magnificent set of 248 color photographs. Richard spent two years visiting key locations along the Lewis & Clark Trail by plane, auto, and on foot shooting specific locations at the same time of year as was originally experienced. The result is an extraordinary set of images capturing the incredible diversity of the American landscape in different seasons. The Lewis & Clark Expedition also known as the Corps of Discovery is regarded as one of the epic stories in American history.
The trail stretches across the American landscape starting in St. Louis and follows the Missouri River through the woodlands of the Midwest, out onto the Great Plains before crossing Montana, entering the Bitterroot Mountains in Idaho, and gliding down the Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia rivers to the Pacific Ocean. The pioneering exploits of the Corps of Discovery have been thoroughly chronicled in thousands of pages of narrative by historians as well as in the journals of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. These words have helped capture in riveting and descriptive detail the sense of discovery and, in particular, the wonder of viewing untouched landscapes and various species of animals for the first time. Unfortunately, the only "pictures" from this expedition were those painted by the words and drawings of Lewis & Clark. Until now. For those interested in the Lewis & Clark Expedition specifically and American history in general, this book is an invaluable supplement to the narrative works in their collection. For those who are simply awestruck by the splendor of nature or the power of photography, this once-in-a-lifetime collection of images will be a treasured addition to their library.

Rating: - Excellent Book!!!
This book has been on my coffee table for awhile and I have noticed two things. one I always have time to pick it up and strol down the river with both the expedition and the photographer. His presentation makes you able to really "be there". Second, I have noticed when I have guests in town, they invariably pick up this book - out of many I have laying around - and will peruse it over and over again. It is a true pleasure to own! I can not wait for Richard Mack's next book!
Rating: - Unbelievable Beauty
In this book Richard Mack has captured the unbelievable beauty this country has to offer and he has done it with the setting of the Lewis & Clark Trail as its background. While this book gives you a thoroughly new look at the trail and the country as the folks on the expedition might have seen it, it transcends that and goes beyond, to the world as we can see it today, in all of it's natural glory. His photographs are superb, and one can make the claim he is one of the best landscape photographers ... Read More

Rating: - A genuine work of art
Those who have read and admired Steven E. Ambrose's "Undaunted Courage" will be moved by this photographic depiction of Lewis and Clark's Journey of Exploration. The photography is incredibly vivid, and romantically evokes the magic of the western American landscape. A masterful piece of work.
