Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West Review
by Stephen E. Ambrose Jr.
One of the greatest American adventures
an avid reader, history buff
MAR

2008
What impressed me most was the descriptions of the American West at a time when it was pristine -- before the herds of bison were wiped out, before the Indians were decimated and reloacted, before interstates, highways, railroads, and survey lines dissected the unending beauty of the plains into 40 arce parcels. It's a romantic vision which will never be recaptured except by the skill of the historian/author's pen. Ambrose clearly has a passion for the history of this country and his writing is evocative of bygone times without being overly sentimental. All and all this book is a must read for lovers of American history.
