From East to West with Lewis and Clark

For students ages eight to fourteen, the MY AMERICAN JOURNEY series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction.

Each of the ten books recounts highlights from the life of a political, creative, or cultural legend. But to engage a student’s interest from page one, a fictional narrator—usually a school-age person who somehow knew the main hero—tells the story with youthful vigor.

Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-Page’s unique lessons are illustrations from Sergio Martinez (Max Lucado’s You Are Special). Each book also contains study questions and activity pages for every chapter.

From 1804 to 1806, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the treacherous landmark expedition from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean that would help map out North America. Theirs is an inspiring story of amazing endurance—never give up!
