Lewis and Clark: Explorers of the American West
Author: Steven Kroll
Illustrated by Richard Williams
This picture book of Lewis and Clark's famous journey begins with the Louisiana Purchase and goes on to introduce the members of the "corps of discovery," their aims, transportation, supplies, discoveries, and the many hardships they faced as they made their way across the continent and back.
The handsome full-page and double-page illustrations offer lively and sometimes dramatic views of the places and events described. Spreads with separate illustrations on facing pages are somewhat less effective, since the borderless pictures meet in the middle, but the oil paintings themselves are well conceived, well composed, and appealing. An excellent introduction to an important event in American history.
