An amazing read; I can't believe they made it back. By far, my favorite parts were the descriptions of the virgin American landscape. I can only imagine what it would be like to see buffalo herds by the tens of thousands on the Great Plains. You also share the adventurer's annoyances, especially with the tribes, which is cloying but puts you in on the adventure. The survival aspects never get too desperate, which I like, but the pickin's are slim at times. Both Lewis and Clark demonstrate humor and charisma. Great read.
