 | Undaunted Courage by Barrett Whitener, Stephen E. Ambrose
Stephen Ambrose's long fascination with the journey of Lewis and Clark led him to write this book. He chronicles the expedition and shares his knowledge of and passion for the landscape of the trail followed by the two captains, and he also tells the story of Meriwether Lewis's life after the expedition. Captain Lewis was a celebrity in the first decade of the nineteenth century, but despite the patronage of his mentor, President Thomas Jefferson, and the admiration inspired by his trailblazing journey, he was unable to parley his fame into any successful career, and his life ended violently while he was still in his thirties.

 | Gary Cooper by Jeffrey Meyers
Although Cooper portrayed the archetypal American man in such classic films as Meet John Doe and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town , and heroic, larger-than-life figures in High Noon and Pride of the Yankees , the actor's personal life was far from ideal. Remembrances by the actor's daughter, close friends, and fellow actors provide insight into Cooper's darker side: his troubled relationships and his cooperation with the House Un-American Activities Committee, which blacklisted numerous Hollywood screenwriters and actors for their supposed Communist ties.
