Review of 'The journals of Lewis and Clark' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I had high hopes for this, but I'll be honest: the discovery of the West is incredibly interesting; Lewis and Clark's journals aren't. These journals clearly were not meant for other people to read. They're tedious reading (because day-to-day routines are tedious), and are too close to the action to show the interesting bits of their journey.
