Lewis & Clark by Nick Bertozzi
With the purchase of the Louisiana Territory, President Thomas Jefferson wanted a survey of the new land. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were chosen to lead the expedition. This graphic novel shows the highlights and hard times of that journey. The story is a great adventure and Bertozzi makes it exciting. He gives a strong sense of the two personalities and how hard it was to cross the North American continent at the beginning of the nineteenth century. While not as entertaining as Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales, this book is interesting and a good introduction to an early adventure in United States history. It did leave me wanting to read more.
Slightly recommended.
