Acts of Discovery
by Albert Furtwangler (9780252063060)

Navigators, naturalists, and diplomats, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark wove science and raw adventure together in their journals as they blazed a trail from St. Louis to the Pacific. Casting their achievements against a broad interdisciplinary background, Albert Furtwangler investigates the process of discovery itself and shows how the information gathered by Lewis and Clark on their expeditions challenged the science, the politics, and the artistic ideals of the Jeffersonian age and helped shape the way we see America.
