      abstract = {Retraces the Lewis and Clark journey and blends their  observations of previously unknown animals with modern  information about those same animals. In 1804 Meriwether  Lewis and William Clark were sent by President Thomas  Jefferson to explore the largely uncharted western  territory of North America, and thus became critical  figures in America's expansion and major contributors to  its scientific scholarship. They observed and documented  scores of animals, including the Great Plains wolf, mule  deer, prairie dogs, grizzly bears, and salmon. Several  species and subspecies of mammals, birds, and fish  previously unknown to science were recorded for the first  time; the information gathered would serve as the basis of  scientific study for years to come. Collected here are  stunning photographs by William Muǫz that catalog the  diverse array of wildlife witnessed by Lewis and Clark.  Nature lovers and history buffs alike will be intrigued by  this unusual account of the journey, whose bicentennial  will soon be celebrated. Route maps, suggestions for  further reading, chronology of animals sighted, index.},
