Author .fehrman stopped by today to sign copies of This Vast Enterprise, his new book about the Lewis and Clark expedition, which happens to be one of our favorite reads of 2026. When we recommended it in our newsletter, we said this about it:
“The American Odyssey of Lewis and Clark has been sorely overdue for reappraisal, and there’s no one better than Craig Fehrman to give us that fresh, full, much-needed take. At last this story is being told from all sides, not as a one-directional journey into terra incognita, but as an ongoing encounter of cultures equally deserving of attention and respect. Rotating through the perspectives of all parties concerned, from the leaders of the expedition to those they recruited, traded with, fought with, and even enslaved, the book is equally full of fact and feeling. The palpable sense of what it was like to be engaged in this vast enterprise has never been better expressed than it is here.”
Pick one up for Mother’s Day! Another for Father’s Day! And get one for yourself while you’re at it!
