Follow this cartoon story in 35 weekly installments, and learn about some of the best places to canoe and hike on the Lewis and Clark Trail. Many places still resemble the beautiful wild landscape that Lewis and Clark described in their journals nearly 200 years ago. Review from American Rivers magazine, Spring 2002 Dean Norman's interest int the adventures of Lewis and Clark stems from a canoe trip he took on the Missouri River in Montana more than 30 years ago. A former cartoonist for Hallmark Cards and American Greetings, Norman has recently combined his interest in the explorers' historic expedition with his artistic talent in a pair of books that recreate the voyage of Lewis and Clark through hand-drawn comics. Norman's latest book, On the Lewis and Clark Trail - Wally's Woods Vol. 2 , is a modern-day journey with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark reincarnated as animals (a Canada goose and beaver, respectively). As the pair retraces their footsteps, they befriend numerous creatures, animal and human alike, just as the explorers did nearly 200 years ago. Norman's mix of history and humor is impeccable. He includes extremely specific details, demonstrating he's a true Lewis and Clark enthusiast. At the same time, Norman keeps the story fun and interesting for all readers, no matter how familiar they may be with the expedition. He even makes a point of commenting on the changes the Lewis and Clark trail has endured over the years. The book also features a detailed history of the Plains Indians by Dakota Goodhouse, a historian and student who is also a native of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in Fort Yates, N.D. Norman's ties to Lewis and Clark are not limited to his books. In the early 1970s, he worked on a Lewis and Clark television drama that was to have cast Fess Parker, who portrayed Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone in the 1950s. The show, however, never came to fruition as its would-be producer died. Norman has also traveled much of the Lewis and Clark trail in Montana and Idaho and studied ecology at University of Missouri-Kansas City and University of North Dakota. Norman currently resides in Cleveland.
