More general maps of the Expedition. It will not be of use to my upcoming trip as I do not intend to research every detail of the trip. For most; I think other books maps of a more general nature would serve better such as Julie Fanselow's book which is excellent!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

I was actually looking for a different map book; but this one turned out to be excellent! He wants volume 2!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding WorkBy T. HamptonMartin Plamondon did a wonderful job researching the route of Lewis Clark. It is interesting to compare the maps to the current river's course and surrounding countryside; especially if you are traveling along the corps' route.
