Clark's slave, York, and the Mandan Indians' fascination with the color of his skin. Grizzly attack! The most difficult part of the entire journey, crossing the "terrible, beautiful" Bitterroot Mountains.
Lewis and Clark: A Bicentennial of Discovery has been written with great respect for Jefferson's dream with an eye on its impact on Native peoples and resulting US policies. Careful attention has been paid to the many complexities and nuances of this legendary journey, making it a catalyst to further discussion.
