The Fate of the Corps: What Became of the Lewis and Clark Explorers after the Expedition. By Larry E. Morris. (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2004. xviii + 284 pp. Map, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. $30.00, £ 20.00.)

      As we enter the culminating year of the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, there could not be a more appropriate book. The Fate of the Corps: What Became of the Lewis and Clark Explorers after the Expedition, is a chronological collection of individual, yet often interlocking, stories, drawn from primary sources as well as published accounts, diaries, and letters. Each individual's actions during the trip with Lewis and Clark are included, linking them to their place in the expedition and continuing with the events of their lives after returning home. Spouses, lawsuits, health, and the swirl of American life in the nineteenth century provide interesting reading as Morris chronicles events up to Patrick Gass's death in 1870, one year after the linking of the Transcontinental Railroad. . . .
