Bon Appetít!-- When Georges Drouillard, the hired civilian hunter and interpreter, accompanied Captains Lewis and Clark on their Voyage of Discovery, 1803-1806, there were no 'fine dining establishments' along the Mississippi River! Today, there are, and Part I of this book provides travelers of the Lewis and Clark Trail guidance to some of the best in both fine dining and 'trailside fare.' Called 'Drewyer' in the Journals of Lewis and Clark, this adept hunter was also a valued interpreter for the expedition. Few people know that he was a Shawnee man whose residence was in the area of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, both before and after the famous journey to the Pacific Ocean. In Part II of the book, The Life and Times of Georges P. Drouillard, readers learn more about the historical, cultural, and geographic context of this man, Drewyer, who deserves to be better known and appreciated. YOU are invited to come along for the ride. Enjoy!What others have had to say about Bon Appetít!and The Life and Times ofGeorges P. Drouillard 'George Drouillard was a major factor in the success of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. His story is seldom told, but your manuscript sheds more light on this outstanding man of Shawnee and French Canadian ancestry. Your research and view of Drouillard helps the reader understand him better.'--Jane Randol Jackson, author of 'Cape Girardeau and the Corps of Discovery,' in We Proceeded On, Vol. 31, No. 1, February, 2005. 'I keep my copy in my lap desk. It is very handy.' --Thomas Jefferson (Patrick Lee). 'I can attest that this book is a constant companion in my travels.' --Capt. William Clark (Charles Clark). 'I have needed a book like this for some time.' --Sgt. John Ordway (Tom Marshall) 'Thank you for this wonderful book! I use it often.' --Sgt. Nathaniel Pryor (Norm Bowers) 'Don’t leave home without it!' --Pvt. Peter Weiser (Steve Meyer) 'Can I get more copies, for gifts?' --Engagé Alexander Carson (Steve Wyatt).
