The
Fate of the Corps : What Became of the Lewis and Clark Explorers
After the Expedition - OK, it's another Lewis and Clark
title, but with a big difference: The Fate Of The Corps:
What Became Of The Lewis And Clark Explorers After The Expedition
doesn't rehash or re-follow the expedition - it discusses the
ultimate fate of the thirty-plus members of the Corps of Discovery
which constituted Lewis and Clark's force. Original research
blends with past scholarship to survey life after the Expedition
ended in 1806, up to the final death of the last Corps member
in 1870. Myth and reality regarding the ultimate fates of John
Colter, Sacagawea and others are revealed in a scholarly yet
lively way. This is a tough book to put down once you start
reading it.
Undaunted
Courage - Highly readable, very entertaining account of
the Lewis & Clark expedition.
Skeletons
On The Zahara - Thrilling account of the wreck in 1815 of
a Connecticut merchant ship and the subsequent ordeal of its
crew in the Sahara Desert.
The
Great Mortality - The Black Death raced across Europe from
the 1340s to the early 1350s, killing a third of the population.
A book chronicling one of the worst human disasters in recorded
history really has no business being entertaining but this book
is a page-turner despite its grim subject matter and graphic
detail.
Odyssey
to Ushuaia - A man rides his KLR650 motorcycle from NY to
Tierra del Fuego.
Confederates
in the Attic - Interesting, entertaining and often hilarious
account of the South's modern relationship/memories of the Civil
War - subtle historical rebellion and outright revisionism -
shakey views on race and rights... It is a huge sampling of
data that Horwitz collects, and is difficult to get a handle
on, not easily categorized.
