About the Author
Clay S. Jenkinson, author, humanities scholar and cultural commentator, has walked many miles in the moccasins of Meriwether Lewis. He was chief consultant, historian, scriptwriter and on camera field host for the Lewis & Clark documentary, "Travelin' On". He is currently writing and narrating hundreds of Lewis & Clark Minutes for radio broadcast. These minutes can be heard daily on participating radio stations across the country. In addition, Mr. Jenkinson is nationally known for his vibrant portrayals of both Thomas Jefferson and Meriwether Lewis in the Chautauqua first person tradition.
Clay brings a humanities perspective to this book, a perspective he learned as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford Univeristy.
