Summary

It is difficult to find this book in the hardcover version with the dustjacket. This is a library edition and a welcome addition to anyone's history library. 

Stephen E. Ambrose’s Undaunted Courage is an extraordinary chronicle of adventure, vision, and the American spirit. Centered on Meriwether Lewis, it explores the remarkable collaboration between Lewis and President Thomas Jefferson to chart and claim the uncharted territory of the American West. With Ambrose’s signature historical insight and engaging prose, this book traces the bold journey of the Lewis and Clark Expedition—its triumphs, heartbreaks, and the fragile humanity of its key players. Weaving in Jefferson’s Enlightenment ideals and Lewis’s personal struggles, Ambrose crafts more than a travelogue; it’s a vivid portrait of ambition and exploration at the dawn of a nation’s westward expansion. A must-read for history lovers, this first edition remains a modern classic.
