Über den Autor


Larry E. Morris is the author of The Fate of the Corps: What Became of the Lewis and Clark Explorers after the Expedition, a History Book Club selection favorably reviewed by such publications as The Wall Street Journal, New Scientist, and The Missouri Historical Review. Morris is one of six authors whose work on Lewis and Clark is recommended by Encyclopedia Britannica. Choice named Fate an Outstanding Academic Title and said it ranks among the best books in the crowded world of Lewis and Clark hagiography. In 2005, the Washington State Library selected thirty-three essential core books about the expedition. That list included Fate, which, according to the WorldCat database, has been placed in more libraries than any of the other books except those by Ambrose, Bernard DeVoto, and Ken Burns. Morris is also the author of The Perilous West: Seven Amazing Explorers and the Founding of the Oregon Trail (given a Starred Review by Library Journal) and co-author of Gloomy Terrors and Hidden Fires: John Colter and the Mystery of Yellowstone (called a definitive biography by Booklist), both published by Rowman & Littlefield.
