Gary E. Moulton - The Lewis and Clark Expedition Day by Day

Drawing on his comprehensive knowledge of the expedition, Gary Moulton has put into a lively prose narrative what is the nations first road story.... The Lewis and Clark Expedition Day by Day gives readers an unparalleled opportunity to see that journey as it unfolded in real time.... [This book] belongs on the short shelf of important books about the life and times of the Corps of Discovery. It will surely have a wide and appreciative audience.

James P. Ronda, Barnard Professor of Western American History, emeritus, at the University of Tulsa and author of Lewis and Clark among the Indians

Praise for Gary Moultons edited volumes of The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition

These journals of exploits and courage in a pristine West have a simplicity and timeliness about themnever failing to capture the imagination of the ordinary reader or to interest the historian, the scientist, or the geographer.

Mary Lee Spence, Montana

Superbly edited, easily read.

Larry McMurtry, New York Review of Books

The journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition are the single most important account of early western American exploration. Their interest to specialist and lay reader alike is perennial.

Choice

Each volume of Moultons edition renews the Journals status as the American epic text.

Virginia Quarterly Review

If the criterion for good editing of an exploratory account is that it should result in a narrative that is as gripping as an adventure story, then Moultons success as editor is unquestioned.

John Logan Allen, Utah Historical Quarterly

Meticulous scholarship marks this landmark revision.... Essential to every American history collection.

Reference and Research

This project compels superlatives. The manner in which the journals are presented to us here is an exemplary response to the need which has been felt for a definitive edition of the journals of the expedition.

A significant project in scholarly publishing and western historiography.

Pacific Northwest Quarterly

Of lasting importance and influence.

History enthusiasts ought to make every effort to acquire these journal volumes and leave them as a legacy to their offspring.

Harold Schindler, Salt Lake Tribune

The entire Nebraska edition should be available in the American section of every major library in the country.

Jack Deforest, Naturalist Review

The project is certainly one of the monumentally important undertakings, not only in Western history, but in American cultural history in general. The scholarship involved is meticulous and extremely impressive. This is a work that will be admired by scholars, and it should be of interest to a broad range of informed general readers.
