Cross Country With Lewis and Clark — Dona Smith

TALL TAILS: ALMOST-TRUE HISTORIES FROM THE DOGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
When Seaman, a Newfoundland dog, is purchased by Meriwether Lewis in the early 1800s, he has no idea of the grand journey that lies ahead. President Thomas Jefferson has asked Lewis to lead an expedition out west to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase. Lewis's friend, William Clark, will help guide the group. Seaman gets to come, too! Along the way, he'll make many friends, discover new species of plants and animals, and play a key role in a true American adventure.
