Items related to Lewis and Clark and Me: A Dog's Tale
A dog's account of one of the most extraordinary expeditions of all time.
"Dog and man can fit together like no others do. Lewis and I had that fit....
How did we get that close? I think the wilderness had something to do with it. Lewis and I would have been close anywhere, but the wilderness brought out the best in both of us. We were made for that territory."
In 1803, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set off on a journey to explore the vast territory of the United States west of the Mississippi River. Accompanying Lewis and Clark and their team of explorers through this uncharted wilderness was Lewis' dog Seaman.
Lewis and Clark and Me is Seaman's story. From his first meeting with Lewis, to being mistaken for a bear by Indians who had never seen such a large dog, to his encounters with wild animals both familiar and unfamiliar, Seaman's tales are filled with the joys of companionship and the tingling excitement of adventure.
Seaman's stories are based information provided in the explorers' journals. The book include many of these direct quotes from the original text as well as a detailed map showing the highlights of this amazing expedition.

About the Author:
From Booklist:
Laurie Myers is the author of several well-received books for intermediate readers. An avid dog lover, she collaborated on a collection of stories, My Dog, My Hero, with her mother Betsy Byars and sister, Betsy Duffey. Ms. Myers lives with her family in Augusta, Georgia.
Michael Dooling has illustrated many books on historical figures including Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. To research Lewis and Clark and Me he spent time with a group that reenacted the Lewis and Clark expedition. He and his family live in Audubon, New Jersey.
Gr. 3-6. The Lewis and Clark expedition spent more than two years exploring the territory west of the Mississippi River accompanied by Meriwether Lewis' huge Newfoundland dog, Seaman. Myers describes the extraordinary journey through Seaman's perspective, using the dog to remember several of his adventures in a descriptive, first-person voice. Each of Seaman's stories is followed by Lewis' journal entry describing the event. Seaman served as hunter, retriever, and guard dog as well as a peacemaker with the Indians, and his story offers an interesting perspective on a familiar piece of U.S. history. Beautifully detailed oil paintings bring each story to life, and a double-page map shows the expedition's route. An afterword explains a misunderstanding about the dog's name, Seaman's epitaph, and his reaction to Lewis' death in 1809. Sources are appended. Karen Hutt
