Lewis and Clark

[muddie]

I'm looking for a good version of the expedition of Lewis & Clark. There are various editions of their journals by themselves and by other people. Can anyone recommend a particularly enjoyable/readable account of their travels - I don't want to read 13 volumes of unabridged diaries.
Thanks.

This, is probably one of the most definitive as well as readable accounts... Lewis & Clark: Voyage of Discovery
by Stephen E. Ambrose. Ambrose was one of our most respected historians(died last year) but also wrote a 'good' story. Remember him from Band of Brothers fame...
Also quite good: Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis Thomas Jefferson and the Opening of the American West by Stephen Ambrose and finally, Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, by Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan...
