ReplyDeleteTo the Ends of the Earth: The Last Journey of Lewis & Clark
Available in print and Kindle on Amazon.com
St. Louis, 1809. Three years after the triumphal return of the Lewis & Clark expedition, Meriwether Lewis never felt less like a hero. He's drinking too much, trapped in a thankless political job, and spending money like there's no tomorrow. When he's called to a mysterious meeting, Lewis hopes for a new adventure that will turn his life around. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a conspiracy to put him and William Clark at the head of a new American empire. In the end, neither man can imagine the price they will pay for their loyalty to each other and to their country.
