Calling The Wind — Rita Cleary

The expedition to transverse the North American continent led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark was an epic undertaking. In Calling the Wind, the explorers have spent a long, wet winter on the Pacific Coast and are eager to start home. They must return upriver on the mighty Columbia and over the huge mountains that nearly killed them.

Rita Cleary was born in New York City. Some of her ancestors were pioneers in the frontier West.
