This book has been so popular with readers, teachers, and librarians – more than 50,000 copies are in print! In honor of the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Seaman was re-released in a new edition. The story and inside illustrations are the same. But the new edition has a gorgeous cover, painted by Paul Bachem, which features a magnificent Newfoundland dog overlooking a sunset view of the White Cliffs along the Missouri River. The new edition is available in both hardcover and paperback. And it contains more front and back matter: An introduction by Jay Rasmussen, the President of the Oregon Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, and an expanded Authors Note, including resources for further reading.
