Undaunted Courage
One of the greatest stories in American history is the story of Lewis and Clark’s trek west. Their amazing journey is captured and detailed in Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose. Ambrose shares with the reader all the moments and details from St. Louis to the Pacific and back. I loved how he helped the reader comprehend all that was happening and even take us into the minds of each individual. He gives us all the possibilities to why Lewis committed suicide. “ Gov. Lewis had from early life been subject to hypocondriac affections.” (467). I feel that after reading Undaunted Courage I know all there is to know about Lewis and Clark.

I have never wanted to read about Lewis and Clark before but now it sounds very interesting. This book sounds extremely good and i wish to read it very soon.
ReplyDeletei've only learned learned about Lewis and Clark in history class, but this seems like a very different perspective to the Lewis and Clark expedition.
ReplyDeleteSeems like an interesting way to bring back history. Seems like it is being told from a very different veiw than i learned.
ReplyDeleteI think thatsounds like a very interesting book to see their adventure to throught the eyes of Lewis and Clark themselves. I would what other ideas they had about why he killed himself!
