Lewis & Clark Weather and Climate Data from the Expedition Journals / [electronic resource] : edited by Vernon Preston. - 544 p. 57 illus., 54 illus. in color. online resource.
Meteorology and the Corps of Discovery -- Meteorological Synopsis of the Expedition -- The Expedition Journals -- Excerpts from the Weather Diary and Narrative Journals -- East of the Mississippi -- Camp Dubois -- Ascending the Missouri River -- Fort Mandan -- To the Pacific -- Fort Clatsop -- Return to St. Louis.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1803-1806 systematically recorded weather and climate data during their 4,162-mile journey across largely uncharted territory. This data, organized by date and complemented by route descriptions and 50 color photos and historical maps, creates a fascinating look at the weather-related challenges that, at times, nearly derailed the Corps of Discovery from completing its mission and returning safely. Lewis and Clark is both a compelling read for weather and history buffs and a key resource for scientists researching climate history.
