Product Information

From the New York Times bestselling author of Band of Brothers and D-Day , the definitive book on Lewis and Clark's exploration of the Louisiana Purchase, the most momentous expedition in American history and one of the great adventure stories of all time. In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson selected his personal secretary, Captain Meriwether Lewis, to lead a voyage up the Missouri River to the Rockies, over the mountains, down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, and back. Lewis and his partner, Captain William Clark, made the first map of the trans-Mississippi West, provided invaluable scientific data on the flora and fauna of the Louisiana Purchase territory, and established the American claim to Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Ambrose has pieced together previously unknown information about weather, terrain, and medical knowledge at the time to provide a vivid backdrop for the expedition. Lewis is supported by a rich variety of colorful characters, first of all Jefferson himself, whose interest in exploring and acquiring the American West went back thirty years. Next comes Clark, a rugged frontiersman whose love for Lewis matched Jefferson's. There are numerous Indian chiefs, and Sacagawea, the Indian girl who accompanied the expedition, along with the French-Indian hunter Drouillard, the great naturalists of Philadelphia, the French and Spanish fur traders of St. Louis, John Quincy Adams, and many more leading political, scientific, and military figures of the turn of the century. High adventure, high politics, suspense, drama, and diplomacy combine with high romance and personal tragedy to make this outstanding work of scholarship as readable as a novel.

Reviews
Ken BurnsStephen Ambrose is that rare breed: a historian with true passion for his subject. Here he takes one of the great, but also one of the most superficially considered, stories in American history and breathes fresh life into it. Lewis comes alive as we've never known him.

    The start of an obsession

    I originally read this book during the early 2000's. I was captivated by the authors attention to historical detail and writing style. I have since bought an abridged copy of the Lewis and Clark journals, the PBS Ken Burns movie "The Corps of Discovery", and even downloaded the complete seven volume Lewis and Clark journals in PDF format from the Wisconsin Historical Society. UNDAUNTED COURAGE by Stephen E Ambrose is my favorite all time read. I am reviewing my original thoughts of this book. I just recently purchased the replacement for my original one. It had been read by me several times, and will be read many more. If you're into history, the Lewis and Clark expedition, or you just need to write a book report for school, this book is the one for you. Please give this book a try, you ...

    Excellent historical narrative.

    Ambrose is a master story teller. This is a terrific overview of the expedition and companion to the Journals of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. On another note: This has book nothing to do with Trump presidency or the dreadful Hamilton musical mentioned by one completely idiotic reviewer.

    Undaunted

    I liked how the author writes. I got so involved, trying to imagine being there. I felt the information had been well researched and compiled

    Lewis and Clark

    Ambrose is an historian and writes a detailed and well annotated description of the preparations and journey of Lewis and Clark in a most interesting era .It traces Lewis's background from his youth and his long relationship with Jefferson. It gives insight into life in the late 1700's and early1800's and that part is fascinating. The entire book demonstrates the politics of the time, even some of the background that is presently discussed in the Broadway show"Hamilton" and can be closely compared to the Donald Trump phenomenon. The bad part is that the detailed historical form is annoying and difficult to read. As a researcher, Ambrose closely follows and includes many of the writings of the time for the sake of accuracy but not poetry. it is quite dry. and doesn't flow. As one who is ...

    Undaunted Courage: Lewis & Clark's journey west (SVTM)

    I normally do not like history related stuff - all that info about dates, places, people and events - but this author, Stephen Ambrose, writes about the Lewis & Clark Expedition in such a way that you feel like you are there riding the river and slapping at the "turrible musketurs" along with the Captains Lewis & Clark and their party of boatmen and woodsman soldiers. This was a trip into the unknown - a land filled with mystery and suspense. Everyday brought new experiences, difficulties and closer to their goal. But they had several missions to accomplish, and as readers, we get to accompany them on each leg of the journey. Would we have made the same decisions? We ponder the thoughts and wonder at their endurance and strength and undaunted courage. Oh sure, ...
