Augustus Pelletier's diary starts off May, 1804 at the St. Charles, Louisiana Territory, Missouri River, north bank and ends on November 14,1805. Augustus gives details on the what is expected of him, his thoughts about his interactions with the others on the expedition. Sacajawea is also included in the book which I truly enjoyed, he is able to show her in ways I have yet to find in other books. This fiction book is able to give you a very raw, real look into this adventure. The interactions with the Indians they come in contact with, some are friendly and some are not. The book includes Nonfiction information in the back as well as pictures, this helps you make connections and put faces with the people talked about, nice touch.
