About this product

Product Information

An accomplished carpenter and boat builder, Patrick Gass proved to be an invaluable and well-liked member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Promoted to sergeant after the death of Charles Floyd, Gass was almost certainly responsible for supervising the building of Forts Mandan and Clatsop. His records of those forts and of the earth lodges of the Mandans and Hidatsas are particularly detailed and useful. Gass was the last survivor of the Corps of Discovery, living until 1870--long enough to see trains cross a continent that he had helped open. His engaging and detailed journal became the first published account of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Gass's journal joins the celebrated Nebraska edition of the complete journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition, which feature a wide range of new scholarship dealing with all aspects of the expedition from geography to Indian cultures and languages to plants and animals.

"The paperback edition, as well made as the original, is a real bargain--and a necessary investment for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the expedition as it played out day by day."-Gregory McNamee,Washington Post Book World, "The journey of the Corps of Discovery, under the command of Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, across the West to the Pacific Ocean and back in the years 1804-06 seems to me to have been our first really American adventure, one that also produced our only really American epic, The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition , now at last available in a superbly edited, easily read edition. . . .

All three editions previous to this excellent one from the University of Nebraska . . . were flawed by significant omissions."-Larry McMurtry, New York Review of Books, "Meticulously edited, with detailed (and absolutely necessary) footnotes, these volumes are a triumph of scholarly publishing. . . . One version or another belongs on most readers'' shelves-and should accompany any road trip through the West."-Atlantic Monthly., "If you want Lewis and Clark whole, this is the edition to buy.
