From Publishers WeeklyIn addition to Girl of the Shining Mountains (reviewed above), which gives Sacagawea’s perspective on Lewis and Clark’s exploration, Smith’s (Thunder Cave; Jaguar) historical novel imagines the duo’s epic 1804-1806 journeying through the eyes of Captain Lewis’s Newfoundland dog, Seaman. The novel opens in 1808, when two former members of the expedition discover Seaman living with Nez Perce Indians; one of them presents the pair with Lewis’s red-leather journal, rescued by Seaman. This opening framework may be mechanical, but the novel finally hits it is stride: as the traders read aloud the entries (actual text from Lewis’s journals), they trigger Seaman’s flashbacks. The canine’s perspective, both fresh and original, is most effective in with objectivity relating a diverse array of customs and tribes. The narration strikes a note of humor, too, specially when Seaman offers clear or deep perception into a dog’s life: “Dogs know persons better than they will ever recognise us.” Seaman’s voice, however, does not cohere to a canine purview as cannily as Henrietta Branford’s recent Fire, Bed and Bone, and the narrative most times lapses into admonishment (e.g., when Lewis berates himself for his failed iron boat scheme, Seaman mentally recounts the man’s resume of accomplishments). An author’s note offers little historical perspective on the expedition, but readers may well leave with a thirst for more of Lewis and Clark’s adventures. Ages 10-up. (Oct.)

From Library JournalGrade 5-8-This is the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition as witnessed by Seaman, the massive Newfoundland dog that accompanied the two captains. Faithful to their original diaries, the novel brings to life the day-to-day challenges faced by the team charged with the task of exploring the American West and searching for the legendary Northwest Passage. Action and adventure abound: ordinary attacks by grizzly bears and voracious mosquitoes, arduous crossings of closely impassable landscapes, mutiny and desertion, and close encounters with both friendly and hostile Indians. However, while Seaman’s narration is inventive, Smith has difficultness sustaining it, mainly because the dog is such a minor player in the momentous events that he describes. His point of view ofttimes seems too omniscient and introspective, resulting in a narrative that sounds uncomfortably human. Only when he recalls a rigorously canine memory such as marking trees does he snap readers back to the realization that this storyteller is in truth four-legged. Still, this occasional awkwardness does not diminish the scope and power of this agreeably diverting introduction to an episode of American history seldom celebrated in fiction. For another novel in regards to Seaman and his role in the expedition, look to Gail Langer Karwoski’s Seaman (Peachtree, 1999), a lively account in which this brave animal is a much more central character.

 Splendid historical fiction plus fun
By Julie Sprague
I thouroughly enjoyed The Captain’s Dog and felt the voice of Seaman gave the novel an added flair. Many times I was so lost in the story, I forgot Seaman was a dog. I in particular like this novel because it lays a strong foundation for further exploration into the adventures of Lewis and Clark. Readers get to meet and know so a great deal of interesting characters. The characterization of Captain Lewis is so finish I felt as if he was an old friend. I laughed and cried when reading this novel. It has heart, adventure, and a little bit of mystery. The descriptive details give proof to the broad exploration which will have to have gone into writing this novel. Bravo, Roland Smith! How regarding a new historical novel in regards to merchant seaman or pirates. Perhaps Seaman could come along as well.

 The Captain’s Dog: Seaman’s adventures
By Dennis Parent
The Captain’s Dog is a good choice for a young reader who likes dogs and adventure. And it is likewise outstanding for a subtle education when it comes to early western history. The story is told from the dog’s perspective. Although fictional in nature, the history is accurate, the story could actually have happened, and it is believable. The point of view of the story may be more or less difficult for a young person underneath 12 years old to follow because it comes from three perspectives. Each chapter opens with two men who went with the Lewis & Clark expedition reminiscing in regards to the journey. They read from one of Lewis’ diaries. Then Seaman, the dog, starts remembering and thinking of his adventures on the trip which takes up most of the chapter. Not being competent to follow the change in narrator does not take anything away from the story, however. The chapters are short, the story moves along pretty well, and the reading appears to be at in regards to a 4th to 6th grade level. The Captain’s Dog is a perfective gift for the child or young boy or girl who likes to read, appreciates animals, and has a hankering for adventure and fun. I think it would be standard for Jr. High School students also.

Wonderful historical fiction on Lewis and Clark Expedition!
By riofriotex
What an pleasurable way to learn with regards to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, from the perspective of a dog! ?The Captain?s Dog? is Seaman, a Newfoundland dog that belonged to Captain Meriwether Lewis. Seaman accompanied him and Captain William Clark and their Corps of Discovery on the search for the overland water route to the Pacific in the early 1800?s. Here, Roland Smith’s historical fiction is exhaustively researched and credible. Through Seaman, we meet a lot of arousing and attention holding characters, experience the journey?s hazards, and get an ingenuous feel for what life in the Corps was like from the inside. Readers will take delight in the typical doglike conduct displayed by Seaman, such as marking his territory and sniffing out animals and people from miles away. He is curious and courageous, as all fine explorers must be. Each chapter is told from three perspectives, using people who knew or accompanied Lewis and Clark speaking in third person, then reading excerpts from Lewis? personal diary, followed by Seaman recalling his adventures and observations in introductory person. The changes in viewpoint and lack of illustrations might make this book difficult for younger readers. I would commend it for fifth grade reading level and up, exceptionally as a outstanding introduction or supplement for students studying the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
