David J. Peck's Or Perish in the Attempt ingeniously combines the remarkable adventures of Lewis and Clark with an examination of the health problems their expedition faced. Formidable problems indeed, but the author patiently, expertly--and humorously--guides us through the medical travails of the famous journey, juxtaposing treatment then against remedy now. The result is a fascinating book that sheds new light not only on Lewis and Clark and the men and one remarkable woman (and her infant) who accompanied them along an eight-thousand-mile wilderness path but also on the practice of medicine in their time and place.Binding Type: Paperback

The 2026 Old Farmer's Almanac Planner
Format: Book Supplement
I bought this for myself as I buy the Old Farmer's Almanac Engagement Calendar every year. And, I keep them - I have an assortment of Engagement Calendars in a plastic covered box in our basement going back to 1975! I like the Old Farmer's Almanac Engagement Calendar because there is extra room at the bottom of the pages to write on.
