Shannon: A Poem of the Lewis and Clark Expedition by Campbell McGrath

5.0

I heard of this book on an NPR story, I think. I remember that I read it while camping with my family in Itasca state park in Minnesota. I found it a remarkable book. And I think the book had a stronger effect on me because I was spending so much time in the wilderness. I also was living in North Dakota at the time, and it's de rigeur to learn something about Lewis and Clark if you spend much time in the state. Highly recommended if you have even a small interest in poetry and Lewis and Clark.

Related to this book, is Frank X Walker's two books about York. In addition, you can't go wrong watching the Ken Burns PBS documentary Corps of Discovery about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
