Animals on the Trail with Lewis and Clark

    By: Dorothy Hinshaw Patent

    Review:
    this book describes many of the animals encountered by the Corps of Discovery. Patent also tells how the explorers used the animals — buffalo for food, horses for transportation — and how surprised they were by some, from grizzly bears to prairie dogs. Modern photos show these mammals and birds in today’s environment. Photographs by William Munoz.
