Lewis and Clark lexicon of discovery

"Alan H. Hartley hopes to help modern readers better understand the language of two centuries ago. The result of five years of research on the history, people, and physical world of the expedition, the Lewis and Clark Lexicon of Discovery features over 1,100 entries and more than 2,000 illustrative quotations, as well as considerable background material on the English (and other languages) of the expedition. With a special emphasis on pronunciation the volume will be exceptionally valuable to historical re-enactors."--Jacket.
