I really enjoyed this 'overview' of the expedition, which was not as in depth as the version in Jefferson's America, which was good since I'd just read JA! However, this version includes photos of notes, maps and drawings from the expedition, images of paintings (from later in the 1800's) and some pictures from even later in the 1800's. It was all a great companion to Jefferson's America, which I read recently and was much more detailed. I wish I'd actually read them together. The modern commentary on what's happened since was also interesting.
This is a high-level overview of the expedition with the accompanying pictures. If you aren't familiar with the details of the expedition, this will be quite useful. Otherwise, nothing new is presented here as the expedition was very well documented and the notes are still available. There's no mystery or nuggets of new information here, just a very nice presentation. ( )
