Journal Entry 1 by ginjer from Portland, Oregon USA on Monday, May 20, 2002
This historical novel is the exciting saga about the Clark family pioneers, of which there were many. The novel concludes with a history of the youngest of these Clarks. William Clark, of the famed Lewis and Clark Expedition endured much to co-captain this expedition. It is written from his Mother's perspective and the final words she utters to the reader is the icing on the cake! I loved learning so much about the personalities of Mr. Merriweather Lewis and William Clark and all the men and woman who were a part of this great ground-breaking expedition! I also was captivated by William's older brother, George Clark, who was no slouch when it came to the pioneer spirit, and certainly, when it came to moral conviction! It covers a period in US History dating from 1773 to 1806 CE. It was, for me, a timely piece of enlightening entertainment, since, here in the Pacific Northwest, many events connected with the Lewis & Clark Expedition are currently being observed. If you like entertaining, but informative, reading, this is a book you do not want to miss! Aside from that the lesson for me was: Little do we know, when it comes to the historical value we, individually, contribute to the whole - just by being. William's Mother taught me much! Or, rightly, Mr. Thom did. Thank you, Mr. Thom!
