About this title

Synopsis

"A Vast and Open Plain": The Writings of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in North Dakota, 1804-1806 features all the writings -- journal entries, reports, and letters -- by the members of the Corps of Discovery during their 215 days within the borders of present-day North Dakota. It is the first book to feature all such writings done within a single state along the Lewis and Clark trail.

"A Vast and Open Plain" is edited by humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson, a North Dakota native who is a Lewis and Clark scholar-in-residence at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. The 648-page book is beautifully enhanced by nearly 100 color and black-and-white images, as well as original maps. It also includes a foreword by James Ronda, history professor at the University of Tulsa and author of Lewis and Clark Among the Indians.
