This is a novel of historical fiction. The story of York, the Black slave, an African American, who was part of the Lewis and Clark expedition in the year 1804. The Corps of Discovery was trying to find the mythical "Northwest Passage" from the Missippi River to the Pacific Ocean. York left no records, written or otherwise. William Clark made brief references to York in the Journals of the Expedition. This is his story, as seen through my eyes. Charles Ynfante. Spain.
