About this title
Synopsis
1804. Thirty-odd men, one teenage mother with a baby, and orders from President Jefferson to cross a continent nobody has mapped and come back alive. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark share command without ever fighting over it, and they are going to need that. The river does not go where the maps say. The mountains are bigger than anyone imagined. Winter is coming. A river. A tribe. A grizzly. Starvation in the Bitterroots. Each one stands between them and the Pacific, and behind every one is the question of whether the young republic will reach the western ocean at all.

Why it keeps going
