Undaunted Courage is the story of a heroic and legendary man, and the saga of a great nation creating itself. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson chose Captain Meriwether Lewis to lead the first government-backed exploration of the vast and unknown western territory of what would become part of the United States. Lewis was the perfect choice.
Described as the greatest real estate deal in history, the Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed April 30, 1803, nearly doubling the size of the United States and creating the nation as we know it today. The year 2003 marks the Bicentennial of this great event in our history with celebrations across the country.
We also have The Lewis and Clark Companion, by Ambrose's daughter, Stephenie Ambrose Tubbs, a Lewis and Clark historian in her own right.
