"This contemporary account of the movement of men and supplies up the Missouri River captures the color and excitement of exploration, while revealing the drab and grinding effort required and the stark unpleasantness of army life in the early nineteenth century. The authenticity of the on-the-spot narrative is enhanced by the editor's inclusion of letters and military orders regarding the expedition." - from the jacket.
