Enlightening

The actual day to day observations revealed here lead to a very different reality than what we were taught as children. It relieves a certain unjustified guilt we have been made to carry by distorted reports about early American history.

At least now I can comment on the Expedition.

Though this book was not loaded with tons of "facts" about the expedition, I'm not sure it was supposed to. It was more a case of someone reading a diary, of sorts, and then filling in the blank spaces so we (the "reader") would have some idea of its context. It could be tiresome. However, now I know something of the expedition and am doubly amazed that anyone made it out alive. If you're on the fence about the Providence of God, this ought to fix ya.'

Worthwhile.

This audio book is abridged. Don't buy it

The description says it's not abridged. Whereas it is. Very very dissapointing. I might have to quit Audible because they make it difficult to cancel books I quickly find dissapointing. Do not buy this book

Not what I was expecting

This book is an actual reading of the journals kept by those in the Lewis and Clark expedition. The journals are read chronologically so you end up with entries by several people on the same day. I was looking for a retelling of their "adventures" and not a word for word reading of the journals.

This book is chock full of information, but it read without much emotion, so it comes across rather boring and monotonous.

I discovered the core of discovery.

If you could sum up The Lewis and Clark Journals in three words, what would they be?

Interesting, intense, informative.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It was interesting to see the different writing styles between Capt. Lewis and Capt. Clark I enjoy Capt. Lewis's journal entries most.

Have you listened to any of Patrick Cullen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was the first time I've ever listen anything by Patrick. I thought he did a great job and would listen to his stuff again.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Lewis and Clark the expedition that made America.

Letters from a Friend

The day to day writings of Louis and Clark, plus other expedition members, keeps me listening without losing interest. Listening to it was like receiving letters from a friend tell about their adventures. The editor inserts material to explain locations or vocabulary out of use. I enjoyed the detailed descriptions of wildlife, Indian cultures, and geographic observations. The narrator changes his voice to articulate different characters. Excellent!

Real History

Somewhat slow as the majority (though not all) is the actual journal entries of Lewis and Clark. But very interesting and insightful on the time, people's, and places. Well narrated.

I have had an interest in the Louis and Clark journals for a long time. This version did not disappoint me.
