Description - The Definitive Journals of Lewis and Clark, Vol 11 by Meriwether Lewis
Lively and curious, possessing a keen eye for detail and a knack for skin-dressing, Private Joseph Whitehouse produced an account that stands as the only surviving record by any army private in the Corps of Discovery expedition. In simple and well-paced sentences he painted full portraits of the unusual group of men he accompanied on one of the greatest adventurers in American history. Whitehouse's journal is published here in full for the first time and includes entries from a second copy of his journal which extends the narrative for five months beyond previous editions. Although Whitehouse's career after the expedition was checkered and he disappeared after 1817, his vivid eyewitness account will long be remembered.
