ISBN: 9780803245143 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Suffering from a case of "road fever" brought on by prolonged exposure to the journals of Lewis and Clark, Dayton Duncan has retraced the Corps of Discovery's route from Saint Louis to the Pacific and back again four different times during the past twenty years-to say nothing of his countless additional trips to landmarks along their route.
