About this book

The Lewis and Clark Expedition's story is well known, but the fates of its thirty-three members after 1806 remain less explored. The final corps member died in 1870, and in the decades between, these explorers witnessed major events in American history—the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the opening of the transcontinental railroad. Some corps members entered public office; two faced murder charges. Many continued to explore America's western frontier, unable to abandon the call of adventure. This book traces what happened to the men and one woman who helped open the American West, drawing on extensive research to document their diverse paths and legacies.
