How We Crossed The West

The Adventures of Lewis & Clark
by Rosalyn Schanzer

Book cover for How We Crossed the West

In the May 2004 Ranger Rick, you can read about a kid who imagined what it would be like to go on Lewis & Clark's incredible journey to the American West. This book uses lots of fun drawings to illustrate the adventure. The whitewater rides, bear attacks, encounters with native people, newly discovered plants and animals? That made this two-year expedition so exciting. The words are all taken from original journals. Among all the books about the expedition, this one really stands out.
