Dog of Discovery: A Newfoundland’s Adventures with L&C

Noted children’s author Laurence Pringle follows the expedition closely and highlights the adventures of Lewis’ Newfoundland dog, Seaman, as they appear in the journals of Lewis and Clark. Selections from their journals appear throughout the text. Pringle also offers evidence, first revealed in 2000, about what happened to Seaman after the expedition came to an end. With intriguing sidebars, maps, historical illustrations, original art by Meryl Henderson, bibliography and index, Dog of Discovery is a treasure of information about the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the dog that was its most unusual participant.
