| | Pomp, and circumstance - Western Wanderings Sunset - Find Articles |
 | | One reason the Lewis and Clark story works as sheer yarn is that it offers dramatis personae as varied as the crew in any old Star Trek episode, with two heroic officers, a posse of rowdy enlisted men, a stalwart young mother, a dog. |
| | And yet there Pomp was, for thousands of miles down rivers and across mountains: a cradleboarded bundle, the object of fussing, worry, and delight. |
| | We do exist, all of us here, and we exist in good part because of Lewis and Clark and, yes, little Pomp, who innocently linked Native America and Europe and civilization and wilderness, and who, throughout his life, seemed to display an optimistic appetite for whatever would come next. |
