The Gates of the Mountains 1 review Will Henry
Leisure Books, 1999
Epic tale of Continental exploration
This is packaged as a Western but is set in an earlier era than that normally associated with the genre-namely the early 1800's and in particular the Lewis-Clark expedition to explore and chart the new lands obtained by the fledgling Republic with the purchase of the Louisiana territory by Thomas ...

Stone Heart: A Novel of Sacajawea 4 reviews Diane Glancy
Overlook TP, 2004
A prose-poem that peers into the soul of Sacajawea
+ The Journey of Lewis and Clark from a different perspective + Indian Tales, Historic & Modern
I read this book a few months ago and couldn't stop thinking about it. Combining excerpts from the journals of Lewis and Clark with a beautifully written prose poem written from Sacajawea's point-of-view, this book, although fiction, gives a realistic voice to the women of this story. I highly ...

Sign-Talker: The Adventure of George Drouillard on the Lewis and Clark Expedition 9 reviews James Alexander Thom
Ballantine Books, 2001
Among the finest historical novels I've read.
+ Good book, but could do without the PC + Sign-Talker: A Trip Back in Time
This was one of the most captivating adventures I've read about in a long time. I'm a slow reader, and enjoy savoring the details of a good book, but still surprised myself as I finished this in (for me) record time. J. A. Thom's intensely sensitive portrayal of the conflicted and insightful soul ...

I Should Be Extremely Happy in Your Company: A Novel of Lewis and Clark 28 reviews Brian Hall
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003
There's no map
+ A different approach to telling the Lewis & Clark story
Several people here seem upset by the use of "four-letter" words. For your information, dear readers, the f- and c-words are as old as the English language (their etymologies go back to Old French). The point is that these words were NOT shocking to a people totally comfortable with their own ...

Mariner Books, 2004
Another great story from Howard Frank Mosher
+ Lewis & Clark (and Kinneson) + Inventive, Clever, Hilarious and Good Fun!
I loved this book. I loved this story. I loved the Sunday afternoon spent with a truly original, imaginative, and entertaining story. Mosher has always written funny, intriguing stories of Northern Vermont, The Kingdom, and the characters doing their daily living. All of his books are treasures of ...

Charbonneau's Gold (Leisure Western) 1 review Rita Cleary
Leisure Books, 2005
A Wonderful Book!
I'd never ready any of Rita Cleary's books before but was well aware that her work has long been highly regarded among the members of the WWA, the Western Writers Association. After reading Charbonneau's Gold, it is easy to see why the other Western writers hold her in such high esteem.
Above ...
