From Sea to Shining Sea

Very well written, detailed, personalized history of early America. Special focus on the Clark family as well as the Rogers family. Second part of book has as primary focus the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific Ocean. Having experienced just a small sample of the terriority they crossed, this was a remarkable expedition.

Highly recommended by HAWL Reading Group.

FROM AMAZON: In one generation, the Clark family of Virginia fought for our nation's independence, and explored, conquered, and settled the continent from sea to shining sea. This powerfully written book recreates the warm life of the family, the dangers of the battlefield, the grueling journeys across an untamed wilderness, and the soul-stirring Lewis and Clark show more Expedition. This mighty epic is a fitting tribute to the wisdom and courage of Ann Rogers Clark, her husband John, and the ten sons and daughters they nurtured and inspired. show less

Probably the best Lewis and Clark expedition novels I've read...and I read alot about this time in history. James Alexander Thom combines extensive research and the humanity of his characters into something I couldn't put down.

Note: Our copy has a red cover

Anything written by Thom is worth the time to read.
