I will second the recommendation for Undaunted Courage, the Ambrose Lewis and Clark book. Full bibliographic info at amazon.com A fascinating story, one of many things I remember from it is that the plains and northwest Indian tribes were already decimated by disease from early trapper / trader contracts when Lewis and Clark first made contact with them. Lewis and Clark are pretty iconic these days, but it was interesting to find out that they were almost forgotten in their time, and many of the names they gave things were lost because Lewis never got around to putting his journals in order.
