Of Courage Undaunted: Across the Continent with Lewis & Clark Paperback – January 1, 2008

by James Daugherty (Author, Illustrator)

See all formats and editions
Newbery and Caldecott Medal winner James Daugherty has applied his literary and artistic skill to bringing to life the remarkable expedition of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their 3555-mile trek from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean. Taken largely from original accounts of the expedition, Daugherty has written in his simple, forceful, and lyrical way to evoke the drama and pathos of what was one of American's most daring journeys of discovery.

Commissioned in 1803 by President Thomas Jefferson to explore and open up this vast territory, Lewis and Clark felt it was the realization of a lifelong dream. Against the hardships of the wilderness, possible attack by hostile Indians, sudden blizzards and terrifying natural obstacles, these two men led the Corps of Discovery ably and nobly to complete their mission. Their Corps included American Indians from the Sioux, Mandan, Shoshone, Clatsop and Chopunnish tribes. Sacajawea, the only woman on the trip, was a Shoshone woman who contributed invaluable service as interpreter and guide. Daugherty's evocative sepia and black ink illustrations depict individuals of humor, vitality, passion, and strength.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Another handsome tribute to American greats by Mr. Daugherty who has a ripe and vigorous appreciation for the vitality of America's pioneer past, of the dazzling vision of space and time which goaded Americans into the unknown; and this quality of high-spirited youth suffuses this stunning book which tells the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804." --Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Before James Daugherty (1889-1974) became a noted author, he was a well-established artist having illustrated more than forty books. In Mr. Daugherty's own books, art and text combine gusto, exuberance, and rich detail.

When receiving the Newbery Award in 1940 for Daniel Boone, Daugherty summed up the spirit of his major lifework: "Wit and taste, beauty and joy are as much a necessary part of the democratic heritage as economics and the utilities Children's books are a part of that art of joy and joy in art that is the certain inalienable right of a free people."

Mr. Daugherty is primarily remembered for his inspired expression of the American spirit in both visual and literary form, a spirit characterized by appreciation for the heroes of democracy.

This book was purchased for my daughter as her school uses a lot of classic books that are hard to find. The book was in excellent condition and is a very good read. My only disappointment was a book arrived late although I paid extra for shipping.

I am reading this book aloud to the children every day. This book is full of information, journal entries, and really lays out the journey Lewis and Clark were on. It tells a very true account of Sacajawea. This book is a great read when working with Lewis and Clark or if you study History in a timeline fashion, like we do.

As with others of Daughterty books, this is a very good book. My daughter is enjoying this immensely and learning a lot about Lewis and Clark and the journey they made to the Pacific to explore the Louisiana Purchase. Highly recommended.
