"[Paul Russell Cutright] brings together previously scattered information about the explorer's writings and breaks new ground in his treatment of the editorial work of Elliot Coues, Reuben G. Thwaites, Milo M. Quaife, Ernest G. Osgood, and Donald Jackson.  Drawing upon twenty years of research on Lewis and Clark, Cutright provides numerous details about the discovery and preparation of the most important published documents written by the two explorers and other members of the expedition." -Pacific Historical Review

"...a fascinating exposé of manuscripts, personalities, and events that reads more like a mystery novel than the solidly substantive piece of scholarship it is."-Montana

"In no other single work can all this valuable information be found...[A]n invaluable reference work."-Western Historical Quarterly
