Books by Dayton Duncan

An account of a 30,000 mile journey to America's frontier covering.

Reintroduces us to people and places along the trail, reflects on events large and small that occurred during the expedition, and offers constant - and constantly entertaining - insights into why, two centuries later, the saga of Lewis and Clark continues to exert such a powerful hold on our national imagination.

Gives an account of three separate journeys: Lewis and Clark's epic adventure through uncharted wilderness; the author's retracing of the historic trail, now in various ways tamed, paved, and settled; and the journey of the American West in the years in between. It treats readers to a landscape as variously impressive as its people.
