"The University of Nebraska Press has become the pre-eminent publisher of Lewis and Clark titles, including what is now considered the definitive edition of the journals edited by Nebraska history professor Gary Moulton."-John Marshall, Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Anyone interested in the Lewis and Clark Expedition will enjoy looking at the specimens and tracing when and where Lewis made the collection via an accompanying map and appendix. Botanists will find this book informative for matters of identification, taxonomy, and natural history."-South Dakota History "Well organized, the book's introduction, calendar of botanical specimens, herbarium list, and six good appendixes are valuable reports that should be of interest to many Americans wanting good information about our country's natural history."-Audubon Nationalist News "These journals are national treasures and now are available for everyone's taste: the thirteen volumes for the scholar and the present edition for the public. To quote a modern Canadian historian of the American West, 'Chapeau Gary Moulton!'"-Missouri Historical Review "To produce this long-awaited contribution to the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition, editor Gary E. Moulton called upon many botanists and other specialists to assist him. Their labors have produced, at long last, what Jefferson originally intended as an essential component of the expedition's written record."-Journal of America's Military Past, Michael J. Broadhead
