Lewis & Clark among the Indians
Category: History: U.S.: 19th C.: Lewis & Cla
Author: James P. Ronda
Copyright/published Year: 1988 by Univ of Neb/Bison Bo
ISBN: 0803289294
Binding: Paper
"James P. Ronda has drawn from the journals and other documents a
compelling narrative of the expedition's encounters with the
Indians. It is a story of discovery and suspense, and it is told
with a modern concern to understand the Indian side as well as
the white in the meeting of the two cultures." - Francis Paul
Prucha, William and Mary Quarterly
"The Lewis and Clark expedition has long attracted the
attention of many American historians, but this is the first
book-length study of the expedition's interaction with the Indian
people whom it encountered on its journey of exploration. . . .
[It] is particularly valuable for Ronda's inclusion of pertinent
background information about the various tribes and for his
ethnological analysis. An appendix also places the Sacagawea myth
in its proper perspective. Gracefully written, the book bridges
the gap between academic and general audiences." - R. D. Edmunds,
Choice
"Conceptually . . . a brilliant book, extremely well written,
superbly re-searched, masterfully organized. By blending
traditional historical scholarship with anthropological and
archaeological research, Ronda gives us the first ethnohistory of
the expedition in a beautifully crafted narrative." - Doyce B.
Nunis, Jr., Huntington Library Quarterly
