Two hundred years have passed since the Corps of Discovery set out to explore uncharted territory. Many words penned by expedition members in their journals--argillaceous, clyster, and wapato, to name a few--are not commonly spoken, written, or understood today. This new reference volume takes readers on a fascinating voyage through the meanings, use, and metamorphosis of those now peculiar terms.
