What a book!
Has any one else read this book?

It has about 7 stories in it describing in servivors words about there encounter with death.

The stories with a fatality have been told by a partner w/ them, or evidence they have found.

I must say what a great book indeed!

CMB...if you haven't read Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, I recommend it highly. Probably the definitive work on the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Hey Prowler!
I like a good book. I'll have to see if I can get a copy of it.

I liked "Undaunted Courage".

I also liked "Into the Wild" although I thought the dude was definitely playing a few cards short of a deck. My wife read a few chapters and stopped reading the book. I asked her why and she said "that dudes crazy!"

The Lewis and Clark Expedition. From its beginnings through, well, I won't spoil the end for you.

Sign-Talker
I read the book Sign-Talker: The Adventure of George Drouillard on the Lewis and Clark Expedition by James Alexander Thom. This book was excellent. George Drouillard was the 1/2 indian interpreter and guide. Great book.
