In 1803, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the unknown land of the Louisiana Purchase. They gathered a crew of adventurous and able men to form the Corps of Discovery. “Unknown Horizons” tells their story.

“By giving personalities to the members of the Corps, we are able to give greater depth to this thrilling adventure and allow readers to experience what life would have been like as an adventurer in 1803,” author Ruth Peck said.

My Take: Most chapters you feel as if you were there…feeling threatened by the Sioux, exhausted by the elements, starving or eating lots of fresh meat. You may even find yourself bored when the men had their long stay at Fort Clatsop or elated when they found fresh Spring grass and signs of civilization on their return trip. I liked how they weaved the Sacagawea story for most of the journey. A Good Read if you like historical exploration stories.
