Review:

When the Corps of Discovery made its way across the rivers, plains and mountains of what is now Montana it experienced some of the most dramatic and adventurousmoments of that long, incredible journey. Now, thanks to Rick and Susie Graetz, you can re-visit these historic sites, guided by the Lewis and Clark Journals and the fresh eyes of two of Montana's most enthusiastic contemporary explorers. --Tom Brokow, NBC News and author of The Greatest Generation

Their engaging text with an uncanny ability to set the mood, and highlight significant happenings, coupled with poignant and haunting photography, makes this volume a must for Lewis and Clark buffs whether experienced in Lewis and Clark literature or approaching this epic exploration for the first time. --Bob Doerk, Past President, National Lewis & Clark Trail Heritage Foundation

The journey of the Coprs can be traced in many states, but in Montana one can experience land and water much as it was when Lewis and Clark saw it. Rick and Susie Graetz allow readers to discover Montana through the eyes and colorful writings of Lewis and Clark and offer clear directions for taking in the sites first hand. --Jim Strauss, Editor, Great Falls Tribune
