David J. Peck's Or Perish in the Attempt ingeniously combines the
remarkable adventures of Lewis and Clark with an examination of the
health problems their expedition faced. Formidable problems indeed,
but the author patiently, expertly-and humorously-guides us through
the medical travails of the famous journey, juxtaposing treatment
then against remedy now. The result is a fascinating book that
sheds new light not only on Lewis and Clark and the men and one
remarkable woman (and her infant) who accompanied them along an
eight-thousand-mile wilderness path but also on the practice of
medicine in their time and place.
