(2) 4-6 York, William Clark's "personal 'body servant'" (i.e., slave), couldn't write, so Blumberg charted a difficult task for herself when she chose to make York the focus of this book. Remarkably, she succeeds. She consistently distinguishes between facts and her opinion, using suppositions to convey the history of the times or the expedition as a whole. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the clear narrative. Bib., ind.
