Interesting little tale...how they matured faster! He was in charge of his older home at age 18.

Having just read the book about William Clark, it was fun to read Meriwether Lewis and fill in some of the stories of them together. Meriwether’s childhood was vastly different than William’s, yet they were great friends. This was an enjoyable story and kept my interest. I would certainly recommend it to anyone learning about Lewis and Clark.

A quick short read geared more toward the young reader but informative on one of the more famous American explorers.

Interesting to read about the good life of a famous American and all the things he accomplished in his young life.

[Marie Lichte · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a delightful historical fiction about the famous explorer Lewis from 'Lewis and Clark' fame. Well written with stories from the childhood of Meriwether Lewis. Easily written and illistrated with the young reader in mind.

I had NO idea about this man's childhood background until reading this book. It inspired our *Knights* to create their own *trail*.
