Dog of Discovery
Overview & Summary
This nonfiction account follows Seaman, the Newfoundland dog who accompanied Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their famed 1804-1806 expedition across the Louisiana Territory, serving the Corps of Discovery as a hunter, retriever, and guard against threats from grizzly bears and hostile encounters. Laurence Pringle draws directly on Lewis and Clark's own journals to reconstruct Seaman's role in one of America's defining expeditions, including evidence uncovered about his eventual fate.
