Genre(s): *Non-fiction, Biography & Autobiography, History
Language: English (FULL Audiobook)
I'm grateful for the people who make these possible, they are not robots ,James Drury even took time to do one ,thank you to all these volunteers, I'm bedridden these books fill my time with alot of happiness 😊 🙂 ☺
3 years later and I still rate this narration as top notch.
The narrator does a great job at keeping the text fresh and engaging.
Colonel John Lewis III is my grandfather! Many generations ago! Descending from John “The Immigrant” Lewis. He was married to Elizabeth Warner (Lewis). Who is daughter of Augustine Warner and Mildred Reade who is the 3rd great grandparents of George Washington who are also my 9th great grandparents.
I’d like to thank the narrator for not sounding like a robot. I don’t know why people are doing that these days. Keep up the good work my friend
@Skydaddy Myth-Busters it’s not a robot for Librivox. It’s a volunteer reader effort. We never use automated readers. By the way, I’m a 18 year Reader Volunteer.
Yeah, totally agree... It's also so much better when readers pause for commas and fullstops, and use inflection. No AI can replace a human who can add depth of feeling...
He and David Wales are the best by far .
@Skydaddy Myth-Busters I think it's pretty awful.... On the scale you provide, it's a 10.
If the scale were reversed, it's a 1.

I'm very grateful for Lewis and Clark now. This is my first time listening to this. It has been put into perspective how much these 45 men suffered and endured for this country. Without them we wouldn't be able to have the American frontier that we have today. These guys were the definition of manly.
They had guts...
Hard to find 'manly men in my area, my worker didn't come to work because of loss of sleep worried about a snapping turtle near his doorstep- I kid you not. He believed someone put that turtle there to upset him. I'm glad I'm on my way out of this world!
@@sjr7822 dude.... -& right
@@sjr7822 I’m almost 67 so l know exactly what you mean
Let’s also take the opportunity to remember Sacagawea. She along with this brave men played an important role in our country’s history.
I first read this book some 27 years ago. I was working in a dull finance job in London, England at the time. Such was my interest sparked, within a week of finishing the book I was hiking alone across Montana in the vicinity of the route Lewis and Clark took. Life changing experience and what wonderful people those rural Montana folks are.
I had a similar experience after reading The Happy Isles of Oceania by Paul Theroux. I also had a boring job working in the city of London on a trading floor. Anyway, back to the book. ✌🏽
I'm following the Louis and Clark Trail with my family for the next few months (with a camper in tow, lol). This brings thorough understanding of the great journey, courage, and character of these people. Highly recommended
Nate Youngbeck that is great !! It's lots a fun . I hope you you had read aloud " THE JOURNALS OF LEWIS AND CLARK " or at least " UNDAUNTED COURAGE " along the way .It makes the trip come alive and makes you look at every little thing in perspective. I hope you enjoyed it. It would be fun to hit the ground and hike it if you could, wouldn't it ?
COOL have a great journey
Ha...
I got to do just that, you will never forget this trip. You moght get a copy or audio of Undaunted Courage, or thr Lewis and Clark memoirs
That sounds amazing and I hope you had a great time.
Can I go ill help with the work I don't have any money but I do have a esepsually large penis I prefer women but am down for pleasing anyone
It's good to hear the real story and dispel the exaggerated and romantic myths that have led to misunderstanding and prejudice. Thanks for the sympathetic reading.
One overall thing that stands out with this podcast... Those fellas were double tough...

Thank you for this!
A marvelous unbiased reading of the journals of Lewis & Clark without the encumbrances of provocative prevarications that are sowed into revisionist history.
A rare thing today.
Sown, not sowed. And .... ""provocative prevarications?" Come on. Never use two silly words when one simple one will do, whatever riotous rambunctiously ridiculous reference you're making.
@@veritas6335 So I nailed it.😂
Nailed nothing. You speak blather.
Thank You for a well done reading. It's not likely Lewis committed suicide. His tomb was refurbished in 1928 and his remains examined. His skull had a bullet hole in the back. He was shot twice, once in the chest and once in the head. He accomplished so much in his short life.
Great narration! Thanks!
A well made and spoken narration, thank you for reading this well, and very listenable, many livrevox I cannot listen to because the narration is horrible, robotic or in the wrong gender for the characters. This version is top notch. I will listen to often I am sure.
Visit the Sgt Floyd monument in Sioux City. Amazingly, the only life lost on the L & C expedition.

Great reader, thanks.
Fall asleep to this almost everynight. 😴
I also do that many nights 😴
Wow, this is so revealing for every character in this Documentary.
Fascinating. !
Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose is a awesome book about this unparalleled expedition.
It is my favorite. I also enjoyed the journals while I traced the trip in 04,05.
Excellent
*Listener FYI:* reference @ 53:30
Council Bluffs, Iowa is across the Missouri from Omaha, Nebraska.
(Calhoun, aka Fort Calhoun, Nebraska is just North of Omaha, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, also located on the Missouri River.)
Lewis and Clark gave us America.
America is over a cliff and there is NO coming back. Godspeed, all.
Of course there is. Deranged, corrupt con men psychopaths always self-destruct.
EXCELLENT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you
in the very late '70s, I had the good fortune to see the museum located under the Arches at St Louis, a visit well worth the time. I also found it interesting to learn, 4 the 1st time, that Lewis was a former Gov. of LA., something I must have missed in my LA history class. Oh, the distractions of those dastardly boys again! LOL
He meant the Louisiana Territory, not the state of Louisiana.
@@GH-oi2jf my bad. little wonder I'd never heard that fun fact since I'm from the great state where we like 2 say, "Thank god 4 Mississippi" giggle
very nice. Thank you,
If you want a book you can't put down about the corps of discovery and more , read Sea to shinning Sea by James alexander Thome.
Thanks man 👍

What? You might want to learn how to write a sentence that is intelligible or, indeed, even makes sense.
Just an FYI, this isn't the FULL audiobook. The full audiobook, such as you would get from Audible, is over 21 hours long. The abridged version is 4 hours 33 minutes. So I'm not sure which version this is.
MANIFEST DESTINY! God Bless America!
Great historical picture of landscape and boats.
The writer had a wonderful style.

Awesome wish I was there
I can’t even imagine what it was like
The reader sounds like he may have gotten into a bottle of Paul Masson. The storytelling is outstanding
This is interesting but the reading is confusing as it does not distinguish between the author's summary and commentary on the expedition when he wrote this in 1901 and the quotes he includes from the journals of Lewis and Clark themselves, written during the expedition itself between 1803 and 1805 or 1806. He should say "quote" when he reads an excerpt from the journals. Jumping back and forth in time doesn't work well if the listener cannot see the quotes used in the text that tell
us who is speaking.
God bless them.
Another book to read is "Undaunted Courage " by Stephen E AMBROSE.

I’m glad those involved were rewarded. To think of America in our nations stage of settling, and discovery.
Rewarded? They nearly died of frostbite, dysentery and starvation. One did die of peritonitis. Sacajawea was only a teenager and died of typhus a few years later, in her twenties. And Lewis shot himself in 1809, three years after they got back. He was 35.
I am a reader, and I love it, for I am a closet writer from age 15 to my present 78. I keep written, audio and video journals. Your suggestion cannot be deleted, like YT, Tweeter, Story corps,FB etc. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. You cannot delete the truth, and God is in charge 24/7, and your arms are too short to box with GOD!
If you wish to be a writer, you'll need to learn to avoid clichés.
I have followed Lewis and Clark go away from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to Seattle or Astoria Washington across the mountains I didn't get my car I didn't do it by foot but we're both but nonetheless I did it
I have a asingment about william clark and this helped a lot so I passed the test
Karol Molina you really need to make yourself learn how to read and learn from what you have read .I struggled in college because I hated it. My mind would go other places while my eyes were actually reading the lines but it wasn't sticking in my mind. Every book is not going to be on audio . So,if you do not learn to comprehend what you read you will never get through college.Its a bitch but that's why they call it learning. You probably know this so use ya noggin. Good luck !!!!
Trevor Fuson geezus it's fucking RUclips comments. if yall wanted to be life mentors sign up at your local boys and girls club!!
This is the only type of platform that will let these kind of ppl give their "professional" opinion !! Lol.. No higher place of learning would dare.. RUclips makes ppl feel special.. God bless em! Ergo.. My professional opinion...lmao
You fuckin disgrace, read a goddamn book

I was amazade the research was so lacking! Such an amaturest rendering. I was atonished that there were not a mention of the Canadian (David Thomson) that worked for both Fur trading companys, Born in the 1700 (Brittish) and studied as a cartographer. President Jefferson had aquired maps made by 'Thomason' and supplied them to Lewis and Clark. Thomas was known as the "Star Gazer' and riducled by the local people. he made a number of trips South while it was still French territory. Also mapped many Canadian rivers. You can easily Google the name ( David Thomson) and see how Lewis and Clark depended on those maps!
Thompson is the correct spelling.
Pie hole
Speaking of research, you might want to learn to spell before getting on your soapbox. Start by proofreading what you write, if you even want to appear halfway intelligent.

I have a LaRousse. The “g” is pronounced.
Sounds like the storyteller fallout series guy. Hell yeah
I really like this guys voice for this reading 1:27:53 slightly demonic though but also a good listen
Demonic?
I would like to believe people of that time were straight forward, and admire honor. Perhaps this is a romantic point of view, but it is still one that I prefer. Seems like those values have slipped away from us. They are exceptions. Seems like there's too few
Yeah. Whites really valued the native Americans😂
I see that Lewis and Clark went down the Limhi River, but Google says Mormons named that river. The only problem is that Mormons didn’t exist in 1805.

Hi from Kansas USA
Really good. Gentlemen needs to go pro.
What's with this guy who insists on mangling the pronunciation of a pirogue? It's NOT a "perio."
My ancestor is William Clark
A good history but needs a little life sounds like its being read for first and last time

It WASN'T a wilderness. People had been living in the lands Lewis and Clark "discovered" for thousands of years. And white Americans, Canadians and Europeans had been traversing the rivers and lands for decades if not centuries. Lewis and Clark were the first to make a SYSTEMATIC survey of the territory they explored.
Lewis and Clark didn’t claim to have “discovered” the territory. They set out to explore and document it.
It most certainly was a wilderness. No roads, no buildings, no plumbing, no settlements. Land, rivers, trees, animals, mountains, sun, moon and stars. And that's all. Unchanged from time immemorial. That native Americans roamed there does not make it any less a wilderness.
Of course it's a wilderness and great parts of it still are. If you don't think so I suggest you have a go at crossing the continental divide on foot with nothing but a horse and the food you can carry.
Where’s York..
Probably dead and buried by now. He is mentioned in the narrative.
Who?
York
Who is "York?"
This is a great Audio book I listened to the one by Stephen Ambrose and other titles by him,..racist is not good at all in any place but at these times it's history true not fair but in all my reading its a higher power,God, or something brought us together for a purpose to learn and be thankful to God in my opinion who knew the future of us.From those of us who are thankful to be here we now can try to understand,educate and again learn and avoid this from repeating itself,no matter what religion you are try to be peaceful and accept other people from other cultures and nationalities,it's really a smaller world than most of us think.Everyday try to learn something new,you might discover something interesting not just out here but on the inside about yourself...
jesse serna that’s really good
Why should we accept people of different cultures and religions? Diversity is a great weakness, breeds division, isolation and contempt. Only western whites are brainwashed into believing this is good. Most other peoples view it as opportunity to gain and exploit from our tolerance and benevolence, not to reciprocate--not like they have something of equal value to offer.
So there was no whites west of Missouri? Only Native American tribes?
French trappers had worked the area since the 1700s. (Sacagawea was kidnapped at age 12 and sold to a French trapper, who "married" her. She was pregnant when on the expedition ) But other than the French trappers, there were few white people or settlements in the Northwest Territories There were Spanish missionaries and Spanish settlers in Texas and California of course.
The Spanish had sent settlers to what is now New Mexico and Arizona from the 1500s on. Santa Fe, New Mexico, was founded in 1609 by conquistador Pedro de Peralta. Franciscan friar Junipero Serra started the first Spanish mission in California in 1769, and many more followed. Many of them still exist and are wonderful to see. French explorers the Verendryes brothers arrived in the Dakotas in the 1730s (and claimed the area for France!). The fur trade opened up after that and French fur traders moved across all the northern territories. So yes, there were "whites" west of Missouri. Contrary to the opinion of many Americans, the French and the Spanish are white people.
I remember meeting lewis and Clark in the Missouri river in my boat gambling days
Not only not funny - that silly crack doesn't even make sense.
Bland, sleep-inducing narration. I couldn't survive 10 minutes.
It's sad that books and films as this one only want to pick out bits an parts of their journey when there were even more amazing discoveries long before any human known what was on the other of the Ohio River. So look up the town on the banks of the Ohio River named Clarksville, Indiana 🛡
Yes liberal writers chopped out their Christian Faith, and this is what Liberal writers have done to all America's Christian History, the Christian founders . America has a Godly Heritage. Historian Willian Federer has the truth ofAmerica's Godly Heritage from the original Documents and Papers.
Slow and clear
All this time I thought Lewis and Clark were a rock and roll band
Nah, that's Simon and Clarkfunkel
I heard one of these men had some kind of mental issues towards the end. Too bad.
Lewis developed (or possibly always had) bipolar disease and shot himself in 1809, at age 35.

hi queen
This William Clark carries the same last name of my Dad's. William was also a slaveholder so I'm sure he could be my Dad's ancestry slaveholder.
And what
I figured he owned slaves, which was not mentioned.
So?
Possible of course but not probable. There were 562,629 people with the last name Clark in the 2010 census. Why don't you research your family origins and places of birth and a census from that period? America took its first census in 1790.

For their 1st trade with the Indians it was 2 quarts of liquor for 2 deer. Selling drugs to the Indians lol, things never improved.
LMAO..... they NEVER could have done this journey, without the pregnant native women who led them across the nation...
Sacagawea was certainly important, but no one knows how the expedition would have gone without her.
Well, they would have done it. But with a lot more trouble.
Hey “social influence folk…”…. Ya… ya…
American Indians, the Cleveland browns of civilizations
What does that mean?

Tom Bystander you forgot, it’s immigrants getting lead by real locals. What’s your excuse on that?!? Hahahahaha seriously stopped making excuses makes you look dumb.
Tom Bystander You’re just upset both of these white guys was lead by a Native woman.... hahahahaha
dante bigguy - No question she was an important asset, but I don’t get why you think it funny.
Lewis and Clark met Sacagwea, a Lemi Shoshone woman, at the Mandan Village where they spent the 1803 winter. Sacagwea was kidnapped by Hidasta Indians who lived near the Mandan villages. At age 13, she was a sold or won in gambling game by a French fur trader named Charbonneau. Lewis and Clark hired him for $500 as a guide hoping Sacagwea could retrace her footsteps back to the Idaho-Montana border (about 900 miles). There she met her brother and continued on with the expedition. Afterwards, she visited Clark in St. Louis, Missouri and left her son with Clark as a guardian for overseeing his education.

Another nit wit.
Not too down to earth writing. Too sugary. Nothing is that perfect. The writers head seems up in the clouds. Irritating.
Sugary? Starvation, frostbite, death and disease are "sugary?" Eating your horses is "sugary?" Read further. And by the way, this is an abridged version of the original journals, published in 1901 from the original journals written during the expedition itself. Writing styles were different then.
