William Clark, co-captain of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition,
devoted his adult life to describing the American West. But this
task raised a daunting challenge: how best to bring an unknown
continent to life for the young republic? Through Clark's life and
career, this book explores how the West entered the American
imagination. While he never called himself a writer or an artist,
Clark nonetheless drew maps, produced books, drafted reports,
surveyed landscapes, and wrote journals that made sense of the West
for a new nation fascinated by the region's potential but also
fearful of its dangers. "William Clark's World" presents a new take
on the manifest destiny narrative and on the way the West took
shape in the national imagination in the early nineteenth century.
