Description

Two of The united states’s greatest explorers embark at the adventure that made their names―and sealed their fates.

In 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark departed St. Louis, Missouri, for one of the most greatest adventures this nation has ever known. Appointed and funded by President Jefferson himself, and led by a cadre of experts (including the famous Sacajawea), the expedition used to be thought to be a success almost before it had begun. From the beginning, the journey used to be plagued with illness, bad luck, unfriendly Indians, Lewis’s chronic depression, and, to top it all, the shattering surprise of the towering Rocky Mountains and the continental divide. But regardless of crippling setbacks, overwhelming doubts, and the bare facts of geography itself, Lewis and Clark made it to the Pacific in 1806.

Nick Bertozzi brings the harrowing―and, from time to time, hilarious―journey to vivid life at the pages of this oversized black-and-white graphic novel. Along with his passion for history and his knack for characterization, Bertozzi has made an intimate tale of a really perfect American epic.
