Book synopsis

Who finds this body Be it known My name is George Shannon & I bequeath my remains To seed this land With American bones. From the inimitable Campbell McGrath comes an epic poem of George Shannon, the youngest member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, who wandered the prairie alone for sixteen days. Spinning a tale of adventure and wonderment, McGrath gives voice to Shannon's lost weeks in the wilderness, a harrowing journey of survival and discovery. With "Shannon," McGrath has created both a thrilling narrative that rises from the once vast, lonely spaces of the American west and a compelling portrait of that now ineradicably altered landscape--then unmapped, wild yet bounteous, teeming with buffalo and home to native peoples--that continues to haunt the American imagination.
