Not enough info , but it was OK.

I thought this was a fantastic read to supplement our Lewis and Clark Corp of Discovery discussions.

A good childrens book

Its a good read for an elementary school child. I was looking for something more in depth but will keep it for my children to read.

Five Stars

Great story of an unknown American.

Wow!

We traveled the Lewis and Clark trail in July, so we did a lot of reading about the expedition and its members. This is an awesome book on York. There is not that much historical information on York, but Laurence Pringle did a great job explaining what we knew and what we could infer.

The illustrations of tall, strong, handsome York are absolutely excellent -- as a hunter, as a boatman, as a member of the expedition, York was held in high regard by everyone.

This is a great book. Get it if you are interested in the expedition, and especially if you are raising adventuresome little boys like mine.
