Lewis and Clark Lexicon of Discovery is an important contribution to the body of scholarly work about the epic Lewis and Clark expedition. By focusing on the language and words themselves in the journals, this lexicon deals with an aspect of the expedition that has been largely overlooked by other scholars and writers. Alan Hartley's lexicon is both a valuable reference book and an interesting read.

""A book of great value for nonscholars interested in history, those who love language and those who just enjoy a good read."" --Statesman Review ""A fascinating book, and absolutely essential for anyone interested in the history of America and the American language."" --Erin McKean, Editor in Chief, Oxford University Press, and Editor, Verbatim: The Language Quarterly ""An important contribution to the body of scholarly work about the epic Lewis and Clark expedition.

Sommer, Director, Nebraska State Historical Society ""No one who reads Hartley's Lexicon of Discovery can ever read the journals quite the same way again."" --We Proceeded On ""The Lexicon is a nifty complement to The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, ed. by Gary Moulton...That the work is fun to browse testifies to the author's success."" --CHOICE
