Story Behind The Book
I've been researching the Lewis and Clark Expedition for many years. The longer I studied it, the more bothered I was by the fact that York's story is so seldom told. Many people that I spoke with didn't even realize that a slave had accompanied the Corps of Discovery on their trip west. After finishing my first novel last fall, I decided to turn my energies to writing a short novel from York's perspective.
