Had Lewis and Clark themselves been able to document their amazing journey with photographs, they undoubtedly would have chosen these scenes, which are the same as those described in their journals. Each photograph was taken within three weeks of the date the explorers camped at or passed each location; thus, the color images of landscapes, water flows and vegetative stages are very much as seen by expedition members. In the introduction, the author states that the text is provided solely to guide the reader along the route from Camp Dubois on the Mississippi River to Fort Clatsop on the Pacific Ocean and back, and that it reflects the perspective of a European, not a Native American.
