How We Crossed the West
I finally read How We Crossed the West: The Adventures of Lewis and Clark and I enjoyed it. I really appreciated that it is comprised of primary source material (from the journals, letters, etc. of Lewis and Clark). I think it's very meaningful and educational to hear "in their own words" historical accounts and I felt that the selections here were well-chosen and illuminating* -- though not comprehensive for a picture book I felt it was appropriate, maybe a tad long, and certainly too long and advanced for the younger picture book set. Lots of discussion points here. The illustrations were engaging and provided added context for time and place.
*Readers should note that these are Lewis and Clark's words and some of the terms are not "politically correct" today. Good talking points here. While L & C may not have regarded the Indians as equals, it is no small feat that the party established friendly relations with the various tribes they encountered.
