Following Meriwether Lewis and William Clark s Corps of Discovery as they navigate the muddy Missouri River and begin a great adventure, this activity book isset against the background of the vast North American continent.
It takes children from President Jefferson s vision of an exploratory mission across a continent full of unique plants and animals through their dangerous and challenging journey into the unknown to the expedition s triumphant return to the frontier town of St.
Louis.
Twenty-one activities bring to life the Native American tribes they encountered, the plants and animals they discovered, and the camping and navigating techniques they used.
A glossary of terms and listings of Lewis and Clark sites, museums, and related websites round out this comprehensive activity book.
