Review by Sukey Howard
Author Stephen E. Ambrose has been intrigued by the famed Lewis and Clark expedition and its implications for years. In his current bestseller, Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson and the Opening of the American West, Ambrose combines scholarship and a sense of high adventure to make the expedition, and the men -- and one woman -- who accomplished it, come alive. What these intrepid explorers endured was awesome, what they saw, beyond their wildest imaginings. This is a story of epic proportions, and, read here by Cotter Smith, an engrossing audio epic, too.
