Bon Appetit!: Shawnee Hunter Georges Drouillard's List of Fine Dining Establishments Along the Lewis and Clark Trail, As of A.D. 1806 and The Life and Times of Georges P. Drouillard

About the Book Bon Appet¿t!-- When Georges Drouillard, the hired civilian hunter and interpreter, accompanied Captains Lewis and Clark on their Voyage of Discovery, 1803-1806, there were no "fine dining establishments" along the Mississippi River! Today, there are, and Part I of this book provides travelers of the Lewis and Clark Trail guidance to some of the best in both fine dining and "trailside fare." Called "Drewyer" in the Journals of Lewis and Clark, this adept hunter was also a valued interpreter for the expedition. Few people know that he was a Shawnee man whose residence was in the area of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, both before and after the famous journey to the Pacific Ocean. In Part II of the book, The Life and Times of Georges P. Drouillard, readers learn more about the historical, cultural, and geographic context of this man, Drewyer, who deserves to be better known and appreciated. YOU are invited to come along for the ride. Enjoy!What others have had to say about Bon Appet¿t!and The Life and Times ofGeorges P.

Your research and view of Drouillard helps the reader understand him better."--Jane Randol Jackson, author of "Cape Girardeau and the Corps of Discovery," in We Proceeded On, Vol. 31, No. 1, February, 2005. "I keep my copy in my lap desk. It is very handy." --Thomas Jefferson (Patrick Lee).
