An explorer and his nephew set out to beat Lewis & Clark to the Pacific in this humorous historical novel by the author of A Stranger in the Kingdom.
In the spring of 1804, Private True Teague Kinneson—schoolmaster, inventor, playwright, and explorer—sets out with his nephew, Ticonderoga, to race Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to the Pacific.

And when a beautiful and mysterious Blackfoot girl named Yellow Sage Flower Who Tells Wise Stories enters the tale, things start to get really interesting …
