Description:
"James P. Ronda has drawn from the journals and other documents a ì compelling narrative of the expedition's encounters with the ì Indians. It is a story of discovery and suspense, and it is told ì with a modern concern to understand the Indian side as well as ì the white in the meeting of the two cultures." - Francis Paul ì Prucha, William and Mary Quarterly

"The Lewis and Clark expedition has long attracted the ì attention of many American historians, but this is the first ì book-length study of the expedition's interaction with the Indian ì people whom it encountered on its journey of exploration. . . . ì [It] is particularly valuable for Ronda's inclusion of pertinent ì background information about the various tribes and for his ì ethnological analysis. An appendix also places the Sacagawea myth ì in its proper perspective. Gracefully written, the book bridges ì the gap between academic and general audiences." - R. D. Edmunds, ì Choice

"Conceptually . . . a brilliant book, extremely well written, ì superbly re-searched, masterfully organized. By blending ì traditional historical scholarship with anthropological and ì archaeological research, Ronda gives us the first ethnohistory of ì the expedition in a beautifully crafted narrative." - Doyce B. ì Nunis, Jr., Huntington Library Quarterly
