While there is truth i n those descriptions\, there is also distortion. Craig Fehrman spent five years visiting more than thirty archives\, interviewing more than a hundre d sources\, and collecting oral history passed down over centuries. He cam e to see that the success of Lewis and Clark depended on much more than ju st Lewis and Clark. Each chapter of his book moves to a different person ’s point of view\, describing their desires and contradictions. In the e nd\, Lewis and Clark are men who needed help—from Sacajawea\, from the C orps\, and from each other. Mile after mile\, the expedition pushes on thr ough hailstorms and flash floods\, frostbite and infections\, rattlesnakes and rabid wolves\, with the Spanish cavalry in fierce pursuit. Fehrman ba lances the story’s adventure with the humanity of its protagonists. The result is a thrilling reminder that even the most familiar moments in hist ory can still surprise us. Craig Fehrman\, a journalist and historian\, sp ent five years writing and researching This Vast Enterprise: A New History of Lewis & Clark.
