Exploring Lewis and Clark : reflections on men and wilderness / Thomas P. Slaughter. by Slaughter, Thomas P. (Thomas Paul) New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, 2003. Subjects Lewis, Meriwether, 1774-1809   Clark, William, 1770-1838   Sacagawea.   York, approximately 1775-approximately 1815.   Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806)   Explorers -- West (U.S.) -- Biography.   Indians of North America -- West (U.S.) -- History -- 19th century.   Wilderness areas -- West (U.S.) -- History -- 19th century.   West (U.S.) -- Discovery and exploration.   West (U.S.) -- Description and travel. ISBN:  0375400788 Description:  xviii, 231 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  Exploring Lewis and Clark probes beneath the traditional narrative of the journey, looking beyond the perspectives of the explorers themselves to those of the woman and the men who accompanied them, as well as of the Indians who met them along the way. It reexamines the journals and what they suggest about Lewis's and Clark's misinterpretations of the worlds they passed through and the people in them. The author portrays Lewis and Clark not as heroes, but as men-bound by cultural prejudices, and blindly hell-bent on achieving their goal. He searches for the woman Sacajawea rather than the icon that she has become. He seeks the historical rather than the legendary York, Clark's slave. He discovers what the various tribes made of the expedition, including the notion that this multiracial, multiethnic group was embarked on a search for spiritual meaning.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 917.8042 SL Checked In Add Copy to MyList
