Synopsis
Stephen Ambrose's long fascination with the journey of Lewis and Clark led him to write this book. He chronicles the expedition and shares his knowledge of and passion for the landscape of the trail followed by the two captains, and he also tells the story of Meriwether Lewis's life after the expedition. Captain Lewis was a celebrity in the first decade of the nineteenth century, but despite the patronage of his mentor, President Thomas Jefferson, and the admiration inspired by his trailblazing journey, he was unable to parley his fame into any successful career, and his life ended violently while he was still in his thirties.

Industry Reviews
"A remarkably balanced historian, Ambrose is neither a revisionist nor an apologist....In this cynical age, 'Undaunted Courage' is a dubious title, but Ambrose makes it stick."
Newsweek - Malcolm Jones Jr. (02/19/1996)

"Ambrose...showcases himself in this book as an exceptionally shrewd storyteller....By digging beneath schoolbook sermons about the expedition, Ambrose has uncovered an extraordinary American character....This is a fine and important book, intelligently conceived and splendidly written. It explains how the continental nation was made, flushes [sic] out human beings who did the making and reminds us of the magnificent things that government can do when it does have a vision."
Washington Post Book World - Blaine Harden (02/11/1996)

"The distinguished biographer and historian Stephen E. Ambrose...not only captures the romance of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 'Undaunted Courage', his carefully researched biography of Meriweather Lewis, he also superbly delineates the cultural and political context out of which it arose."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Daniel L. Wick (02/25/1996)

"This is a zestful labor of love about a complex, endearing man who stood at the epicenter of our national epic."
