Why read it?
1 author picked This Vast Enterprise as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was a fresh look at an old topic: the Lewis and Clark expedition to the West Coast. The author offers new insights on the expedition, while also providing more coverage on such individuals as William Clark's enslaved manservant, York. I already knew a fair amount about the expedition yet still learned quite a lot from Fehrman's fine book.
