David J. Peck's Or Perish in the Attempt ingeniously combines the remarkable adventures of Lewis and Clark with an examination of the health problems their expedition faced. Formidable problems indeed, but the author patiently, expertly--and humorously--guides us through the medical travails of the famous journey, juxtaposing treatment then against remedy now. The result is a fascinating book that sheds new light not only on Lewis and Clark and the men and one remarkable woman (and her infant) who accompanied them along an eight-thousand-mile wilderness path but also on the practice of medicine in their time and place.

Pleasantly surprised by fit and finish
Size: X-Small, Color: Royal Blue
I usually wear bespoke suits, but I thought I'd give these a try. I'm a 38R in US sizes and I ordered the XS size. The jacket and vest fit nicely and looks sleek. The pants are a bit long, but easily hemmed. The material feels nice and the blue is vibrant. It comes in a bag so you will need to spend some time to steam out the creases and wrinkles. The ensemble gives a modern fitted aesthetic without being tight and uncomfortable and is provides a really good budget value. I can say yet how it will stand up to the test of time, but it's off to a good start.
