literatureduring what can now be termed the "Moulton era" (1981-present) could have been the narrative capstone of an otherwise exhaust inglycomplete tome. Bibliophiles will pour over thepages of this book for generations, and, accordingly, any seri ous institutional libraryneeds a copy.The work thatwent into the collation, description, and cross-referencingof thepublished literatureby thebibliographers is most impressive.Icould find only one error, the suggestion (p. 59) that Lt. William Broughton ofGeorge Vancouver's expe dition sailed up the Columbia River in the Chatham toPointVancouver inpresent-dayClark County, Washington. In fact,Broughton and some of his crew rowed up the river from the estuary in a launch and cutter.This singlemis step aside, The Literature of theLewis and Clark Expedition is sure to go intohistory as one of the landmarkpublications of theexpedition's bicen tennial. In this respect, the epigraph for this book might have been Jefferson's famous quip to John Adams: "I cannot live without books." On page 22,Beckham provides his own wise corollary to Jeffersonby universalizing the proposition: "Books are part of the glue thathelps hold to gethercivilization." The burgeoning literature and wide appeal of theLewis and Clark story,a veri tablephenomenon unto itself(much to thedis may of some intheacademic community), binds millions ofAmericans together ina community of common historical interest.

Reviewed by David V Ellis Archaeological InvestigationsNorthwest, Portland, Oregon At a time when themedia portray con troversies such as those surrounding Kennewick Man as clashes of irreconcilable worldviews, Changing Landscapes: "Sustaining Traditions" provides good evidence thatanthro pologists and Native Americans can work to gether.Since 1997,theCoquille Indian Tribe has hosted theCoquille Cultural Preservation Con ferenceand published threecollections ofpapers from theconferences.This isthe thirdvolume in the series,all entitledChanging Landscapes, and it offers a selection of papers from the 2001 and 2002 conferences.
