Saturday, Aug. 14, at 3 p.m., Maryhill Museum of Art will host "Lecture & Book Signing: Deconstructing the Lore of Lewis and Clark."
Join author David L. Nicandri, executive director, Washington State Historical Society, for a post-modernist look at Lewis and Clark and their accomplishments along the Columbia River.
In his new book, Nicandri shifts the focus to an essential goal of the explorers: to discover the headwaters of the Columbia and a water route to the Pacific Ocean. He also restores William Clark in his role as the primary geographic problem-solver of the partnership.
Here we see Clark as Lewis' equal as scientific geographer, not merely the practical manager of boats and personnel.
Nicandri is director of the Washington State Historical Society, the executive editor of Columbia Magazine and author of many books and articles.
