Iimagine that if Weatheruiise founder David Ludlum were alive today, he would agree with me that Lewis & Clark: Weather and Climate Data from the Expedition Journals is a classic weather history source. This beautiful book is a day-by-day compendium of the specific weather conditions and observations gleaned from the journals of the participants on Meriwether Lewis &. William Clark's expedition into the interior of America. The observations included in the book are primarily from the journals of the two expedition leaders, as well as Lewis's weather diary. The diary includes two daily entries that note temperature, weather conditions, and wind (one reading at sunrise and one at 4 p.m.), as well as changes in water levels in the Missouri River. The book also includes excerpts from the journals of Sergeants John Ord-way, Charles Floyd, and Patrick Gass, and Private Joseph Whitehouse.
