Probably the best adventure in American history. Lewis and Clark fight bears, see new flora and fauna never before seen by civilized society, make deals with Indians, navigate rivers and much more. After reading this, I don't know why Sacagawea is so famous. She helped communicate with a couple tribes, and helped navigate once or twice but York and Drouillard were much more pivotal in the expeditions survival. The difference is Sacagawea was a woman and carrying a baby through this arduous journey, so that's pretty cool. I also don't understand why humans were so hypocritical. In white society, if a beggar stole bread or something they would be jailed or whipped but the civilization as a whole doesn't mind stealing land from Indians. In Indian society, they are made out to be an honest people and hate the white men for not keeping their word but at the same time will sneak up on you in your sleep and steal all your stuff no matter how much you need it.
