I read this aloud for a broad range of children from thirteen years downwards to 4-- and so I would accept them narrate to me what but took place in the department we read. They all could tell me what was happening and fifty-fifty some of the slower parts that were harder to follow, for the well-nigh part they could tell me what was going on. I thought it was neat narrative near the expedition. We learned how they traveled up the Missouri, over the Columbia to the Pacific Ocean, where tranquillity footling Sacajawea voiced her want to meet the large fish (whale) and the great lake. This book was a wonderful and delightful read, giving insight to President Jefferson, Meriweather Lewis, William Clark, and many of the other participants of the Lewis and Clark expedition. ...more than

I liked that it was short with lots of pictures, though, because I would've lost interest without it. This book was a lot better than I expected.

2) This is not a literary narrative ala the historical fiction genre that is so popular with modern readers. Rather, this is non-fiction, historic accounting of the events of the trek. It is important for readers (especially students) to understand the difference. Recounting all the adventures and trials of a two twelvemonth journey is occasionally slow, but you will simply accept to push through the hurting every bit they did then that you can share in their satisfaction in the terminate!

Loved this retelling of the Lewis and Clark expedition--especially the vigorous drawings and fun verse.
Great insight to the Lewis and Clark exhibition. The font was big and there was a lot of picture so it was really easy to read.
This was our history read-aloud for our offset function of the third twelvemonth in Tapestry of Grace.

The author fabricated y'all feel like you were right there with them, without getting bogged down in too many details.

There were areas of sadness for me every bit an adult that my younger kids probably didn't pick up on. I don't like when the writer used words such every bit "barbarous" to describe the Indians. I don't like how the Indians were treated during early on American history. Daugherty put forth an optimistic view of all the Indian tribes coming together in peace and being united fairly with the new, expanding United States. But the reality is-that rarely happened. It is amazing how Lewis and Clark survived this trip-downright miraculous at times.
I call back the Ken Burns documentary follows a similar narrative equally this book and compliments the book nicely. ...more
I read this book to my kiddos as a part of their homeschool curriculum. I call up it does a pretty good job of summarizing the story of Lewis & Clark, and getting the main themes of exploration and growing the continent of America.

If I am honest, I didn't wait forward to this one every bit much as I have some of the other titles on Nolan's narration schedule. I noticed that I did seem to savour this more than when we read it aloud, than when I read it silently to proof a written narration. We flip flopped between written and oral narrates on this. Good introduction to Lewis and Clark Expedition, nonetheless. Plan to commit to a read aloud next time around... boys never tire of hearing well-nigh bear sightings, gunfights, Ambleside year five.

I actually enjoyed learning nigh the interactions the coiffure had with the many American Indian tribes they encountered. Very interesting. Not much detail is given on Sacagawea only enough to make me want to read more than almost this fascinating young adult female. Practiced read.
This book is extremely dated in language and attitude. While it is a proficient, detailed overview of the Lewis and Clark expeditions, slurs for American Indiginous peoples are used throughout, along with a general view that Native Americans are untrustworthy savages.
AmblesideOnline twelvemonth 5, Well written and interesting. I especially liked all the excerpts from Lewis and Clark's journals.
I liked it better than the Landmark Lewis and Clark volume, which I thought was good also in a different way.

Hither'due south the thing...it'southward history. History books should not be "portraying" characters in any particular way, but laying information technology out the way it was. She was a office of the team and did her function. She was a typical Indian woman for the time - a helper, submissive to authority (in this case her husband). She was a groovy help in many places. Only, the expedition was a squad of people. There were others who were every bit as helpful in their roles, merely their names have been lost to history. Sacajawea is remembered considering she is a woman. Although she interpreted for the group, she did not speak English. Her French husband knew some Native languages including some that she knew. She would interpret from the Shoshones to her husband who would speak French to some other member of the group who would so translate to English for Lewis and Clark. Quite a chain of advice.
Overall, great history book. No bells and whistles. Non trying to brand history entertaining, but laying information technology out as it was for learning and understanding.

Daugherty also told of the numerous Indian tribes they encountered, each having distinct traits and ways of relating to the white men. It gave me a sadness for the loss of both the wild American prairie teeming with game and the various Indian tribes that once populated North America, things I will never encounter. I may read it again to my younger children when they go older if I oasis't found a meliorate alternative in the meantime. ...more

Read it for schoolhouse, 'nough said.Pretty amazing, though. Only, similar, 3 people died on their trip! Just iii! God'south amazing...
And, may I just add, that Sacajawea is sooooo portrayed wrong? She had a child (was she married? book wasn't clear), quiet and emotionless, pockmarked, and disappeared into the wild once again with her son afterwards Lewis and Clark could go back home on their ain. Movies like Night At The Museum got it and so wrong.
