Those who have read and admired Steven E. Ambrose’s “Undaunted Courage” will be moved by this photographic depiction of Lewis and Clark’s Journey of Exploration. The photography is incredibly vivid, and romantically evokes the magic of the western American landscape. A masterful piece of work.

Unbelievable Beauty
In this book Richard Mack has captured the unbelievable beauty this country has to offer and he has done it with the setting of the Lewis & Clark Trail as its background.

Richard Mack is clearly a remarkable, talented man. His skill in photography, his love of the widely varied American landscape, and his respect for the members of Lewis and Clark’s expedition all shine through in every page of this beautifully crafted book. If you love photography, you need this book. If you love natural beauty, you must buy this book. If you are intrigued by the human stories and the visceral phenomena that make up the fabric of every historical event, get this book right now.
Mack didn’t merely travel the trail and take great pictures here and there. He captured moments right out of Lewis and Clark’s journals by photographing each spot along trail at the same time of year that the expedition party was there, often presenting the photographs with quotes from the journals themselves. You turn each page and move along the trail with the party, seeing much of what they saw and understanding the wonder and awe they must have felt in the midst of riveting views, often brutal conditions, and seemingly unending newness.
I’ve shown this book to dozens of people. It draws not merely appreciation, but admiration. It’s a book you will find yourself thumbing through again and again.

A true journey and labor of love. Mr. Mack captures the beauty, serenity, and majesty of our country and shares with us the magic of that courageous expedition. A brilliant concept, captured by a gifted photographer!
