Of Courage Undaunted: Across the Continent with Lewis and Clark
Publisher: 1967. New Beautiful Feet Paperback This was first published in 1951 and brought back into print by Beautiful Feet Books recently. It recreates the the daring exploits of the Lewis and Clark exploration. To quote the author (and give you a feel for the style) concerning those chosen for the expedition: There was nothing you would say was special about them. They chawed tobacco and cussed and caterwauled that they were double-jointed, fire-eating, leather-necked, half-horse half -alligator men who could lick their weight in wildcats. They were picked almost at random out of the Ohio Valley of Virginia, Kentucky, or New England stock, merely a fistful of what American democracy turns out. . . . Any state in the Union can give you ten thousand such at any time. . . if there is a call to stand together in time of danger, or hold the line on land, in the sea or air, not without bragging and grousing and a sour kind of humor, sometimes terribly scared but never broken by fear, of courage undaunted. (p. 13, ¬ 1967 by Charles Daugherty, son of the author. ) Daugherty has captured the disciplined bravery, the rollicking humor, and the spirit of adventure seen in these men throughout the their expedition to explore the continent of our United States while it was still young. The original two and three-color illustrations from the original have been retained; 168 pages; ISBN: 1893103021
