New Fictional History Book Follows the Footsteps of Lewis and Clark

Author P.D. Tilley offers readers the chance to experience the 19th-century adventure of the expedition in Adventures with Lewis and Clark

CAMANO ISLAND, Wash. (MMD Newswire) January 29, 2009 -- Adventures with Lewis and Clark by P.D. Tilley is the fictional tale of two teenage boys who had the courage to follow a dream.

Luke and Jeb live on the frontier near the Mississippi River and are fascinated by the men who have returned from the West with their stories of excitement and adventure. Asking countless questions about the vast wilderness and spending hours-on-end daydreaming of explorations of their own, Luke and Jeb long to experience an expedition for themselves. Steadfast and determined, the two teens set out in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark and encounter American Indians, wild animals and, with a little help from fate, Lewis and Clark themselves.

Having read the journals of Lewis and Clark, Tilley has been invited into numerous classrooms, dressed in buckskin, to share his knowledge of the famed explorers with young students. Inspired by the rapture in those students’ eyes, Tilley felt compelled to write the book for every child who has ever dreamt of what it would have been like to travel with Lewis and Clark.

Attempting to fill a void in young adult literature, Tilley says his book is different than other historical fiction books on Lewis and Clark in that it is more enjoyable and suitable for younger readers.
