This widely read book on the Lewis and Clark expedition was praised for its engaging style, though it also faced criticism for its assumptions and reliance on other historians' work. The author's voice is strongly present in the writing, making it a distinctive read.

Undaunted courage. Uh, I heard Steven Ambrose speak several times before he passed away and, and he always talked about how when he first, uh, went to his publisher and said, well, I'd like to do something on Lewis and Clark.
And, uh, his publisher said, well, you know, very reluctantly said, well, how about if we start with 500,000 copies? And, uh, Ambrose said 500,000 copies. I hope more gets sold than that.
by 2001, 3 million copies had been sold.
