A lively and thoroughly researched novel of Lewis and Clark's nineteenth century adventures, including journal entries from Lewis's loyal dog, Seaman.
In 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set forth to explore and map the West, forging a trade route to the Pacific coast. Though their adventures and contributions to American history are well known, a vital member of their team was nearly forgotten by time. Amid the soldiers, cartographers, and boatmen, one particular explorer in The Corps of Discovery stands out: Seaman, Captain Lewis's Newfoundland dog.
Seaman is more than a just a companion. He is a skilled hunter, a talented scout, and a fierce guardian, frequently risking his own life to save his master's. Along with Seaman, Sacajawea, and the intrepid pioneers in their party, Lewis and Clark face countless dangersβstarvation, deadly storms, and hostile tribesβas they attempt to achieve President Jefferson's ambitious assignment.
Based on expedition journals and other historical documents, Trail is a gripping retelling of a true American adventure that vividly captures the inspiration, courage, and imagination of the Westward Expansion.
