Dangerous Endeavor is an exciting first-hand account of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition. Using journal entries from Lewis, Clark, and four other men of the party, the true story of this 1804 expedition springs to life as these men record in their own words the excitement of new discoveries, their dangers from Indians, and the thrill of succeeding in a mission thought by many to be impossible.

Perseverance, firmness, and integrity were necessary qualities for the two young commanders entrusted with the monumental task of finding a navigable passage to the Pacific coast. Passing through hostile Indian tribes and battling fierce grizzly bears and countless other dangers, the two leaders with their loyal men struggled to attain their goal of reaching the mighty western Ocean.
