Category: History: U.S.: Western: Lewis & Cla
Author: Thomas P. Slaughter
Copyright/published Year: 2003 by Knopf
ISBN: 0375400788
Binding: hardcover
Exploring Lewis and Clark probes beneath the traditional
narrative of the journey, looking beyond the perspectives of the
explorers themselves to those of the woman and the men who
accompanied them, as well as of the Indians who met them along
the way.
It reexamines the journals and what they suggest about Lewis's
and Clark's misinterpretations of the worlds they passed through
and the people in them. Thomas Slaughter portrays Lewis and Clark
not as heroes but as men-brave, bound by cultural prejudices and
blindly hell-bent on achieving their goal.
He searches for the woman Sacajawea rather than the icon that
she has become. He seeks the historical rather than the legendary
York, Clark's slave. He discovers what the various tribes made of
the expedition, including the notion that this multiracial,
multiethnic group was embarked on a search for spiritual
meaning.
