Into the Wilderness - The Lewis and Clark Expedition

When Thomas Jefferson sent a team of explorers to discover a way to the Pacific Ocean two hundred years ago, the western border of the United States was the Mississippi River. It was Jeffersons dream to uncover the mysteries of the distant lands beyond. In 1803, the president sent a team of thirty men, lead by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, on a monumental, two-and-a-half-year expedition up the Missouri River, across the Rocky Mountains, down the Columbia River to the Pacific, and back home again. Written on an upper elementary school level expressly for adult literacy students and students of English as a second language, Into the Wilderness describes the famous journey that made these men the celebrated heroes they are today.
