Hartley, an independent lexicographer, explains difficult and interesting words that members of the Lewis and Clark expedition used to record their discoveries and experiences. He indicates the pronunciation of words that are not obvious, and often includes quotations to show how they were used. As well as helping readers of the journals understand them better, he contributes to the study of American English at the beginning of the 19th century. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
