HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Noah Brooks was a journalist and close friend of Abraham Lincoln who specialized in making American history accessible to the public. His distillation of the Lewis and Clark journals remains one of the most enduring accounts of the Corps of Discovery. This specific 2003 edition was published by the Westvaco Corporation, continuing a tradition started in 1958 of producing high-quality, limited-run American classics as holiday gifts. These volumes are collected as a series for their consistent design quality and the significance of the titles chosen to represent the American spirit. The 2003 release coincided with the lead-up to the bicentennial of the expedition's return.
