Reviews

Lewis and Clark Reframed is written with admirable simplicity, grace, and clarity--and it contains the ever so important 'bite' that makes for good history and historical narrative. --Barry Gough, Professor Emeritus, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario Nicandri's knowledge is vast, his insights penetrating, his narrative fearless...Above all, his work is thought provoking. --The British Columbia Review The essays are thought provoking, often addressing little known or overlooked/ignored aspects of the expedition. --James J. Holmberg, Filson Historical Society
