YA-The author of Undaunted Courage (S & S, 1996) has written another excellent book about the two men who were responsible for opening up the American West. Ambrose and his family have spent their vacations following the routes taken by the expedition and this volume is an outgrowth of their travels. Although it is about Lewis and Clark, it is equally about the author's own observations on their impact on the land and people and the positive affect his own trips have had on him and his family. In addition to the superb writing, the book has stunning, full-color photographs of the places that Lewis and Clark so vividly described. Reproductions of many of the actual paintings and maps done by the two explorers are also included. This combination of easy-to-read writing, high-quality photographs, and period artwork makes this book appealing to a wide range of readers.-Robert Burnham, R. E.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Don't expect Ambrose's second treatment of the Lewis and Clark expedition to retread his Undaunted Courage (1996), a huge-selling biography of Meriwether Lewis. An inspection of both books reveals only tiny verbatim repetition, and the cause soon becomes clear: whereas the biography held to the form's stricture that the author be detached from his subject, this photo album proclaims Ambrose's 20-year-long personal obsession (as he puts it) with the epic story. Since 1976 he and his family have spent their summers along the route taken by the Corps of Discovery; some family members have even moved to Montana because of their devotional interest in Lewis and Clark. Ambrose, drawing on his hikes and canoe trips to all the monuments between St. Louis and Fort Clatsop associated with the explorers, melds his memories and own journal entries with a new Lewis and Clark narrative spiced by entries from their journals. Akin to religious pilgrims, Ambrose and companions (including Dayton Duncan and film producer Ken Burns) often re-read passages from those journals at the locale an entry was written, allowing Ambrose to comment on the place's contemporary appearance, whether pristine (Gates of the Rocky Mountains), or altered (the dammed-up Missouri River). The visual difference between Duncan and Burns' Lewis & Clark (1997) and this Ambrose treatment is notable: the former uses nineteenth-century paintings; the latter contemporary National Geo-style photographs of the vistas. Ambrose remarks that his obsession changed his life, and surely his travelogue/tribute will change the vacation plans of some readers as well. Popular, beyond doubt. --Gilbert Taylor
