Review: Great comicbook adaptation of a true-life epic - "Lewis And Clark" Written and Illustrated by Nick Bertozzi (First Second, 2011) ------------------------------------------------ This is an outstanding graphic novel telling the story of Merriweather Lewis and William Clark's fabled 1804-1806 journey across the American frontier in search of a water route, or "Northwest Passage," from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. (They failed to find one: the Rocky Mountains got in the way.) Working from the extensive journals compiled by explorers Lewis and Clark, artist Nick Bertozzi crafts a brisk, lively and humor-filled version of their journey, in which a small but hardy group of frontiersmen braved the hazards of harsh weather, unknown geography and unpredictable native tribes, and mapped out a hefty chunk of what would become the new American West. I am a total sucker for this kind of stuff, particularly when told in comicbook form, and Bertozzi's book ranks right up there with William Messner-Loebs' "Journey" and George O'Connor's "Journey Into Mohawk Country" (also published by First Second). The narrative is true to the original journals and although it could have been longer, it races along at a fine clip yet also has some heft. Bertozzi's artwork is as subtle as his script, evoking the wonder of the unspoiled vistas as well as the constant perils that confronted Lewis and Clark faced. This book is an ideal companion to the original text: students who find it difficult to picture the landscapes and scenes described in Lewis' prose will find this version immensely helpful. The book ends abruptly, however, and Bertozzi largely sidesteps the controversies concerning Merriweather Lewis's death -- he died of gunshot wounds in a Tennessee tavern; some historians think he was murdered, while most believe it was suicide: in this comic, he is last seen walking off into the woods, and later we are told he is dead. Although that sequence is unsatisfying, the book as a whole is not, and indeed is highly, highly recommended. And while you're at it, pick up a copy of the full "History of the Expedition under the Command of Captains Lewis and Clark" , one of the finest American history books you'll ever read.

(Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews) ### ⭐⭐ Comic Book History *by D***5 on May 13, 2011* As excited as I was about getting my hands on Nick Bertozzi's LEWIS & CLARK, I have to say that it turned out to be a sad disappointment to read. Full of inacccurate historical details and incorrect details in Bertozzi's illustrations; the book fell far short of my expectations. Bertozzi's uniforms are pretty sad. His Indians are cookie-cutter stereotypes, both in appearance and in their speech. Lewis comes off as a raging lunatic (hardly the sort of man that Thomas Jefferson would have had as a Private Secretary...or sent to lead an expedition!). Having participated in the recent L&C Bicentennial observance, I just found myself wondering where Bertozzi got his information and his ideas? It seems to me that Nick Bertozzi took a fantastic tale of true adventure and tried to 'improve' on what is already a great story. Sometimes you just cannot make a great story better by exercising 'artistic license'. Looking at the bibliography on the last page of the book, I found myself wondering if the author READ any of the volumes he cites??? Nice 'comic book'. Disappointing historical graphic novel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/10026739-lewis-and-clark](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/10026739-lewis-and-clark) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
