An indepth look at Lewis and Clark s historic expedition through the explorers journalsAmerica s first report on the West (Bernard DeVoto, Pulitzer Prizewinning scholarhistorian of the American West).In 1803, the great expanse of the Louisiana Purchase was an empty canvas. Keenly aware that the course of the nation s destiny lay westwardand that a Voyage of Discovery would be necessary to determine the nature of the frontierPresident Thomas Jefferson commissioned Meriwether Lewis to lead an expedition from the Missouri River to the northern Pacific coast and back.From 1804 to 1806, accompanied by cocaptain William Clark, the Shoshone guide Sacajawea, and thirtytwo men, Lewis mapped rivers, traced the principal waterways to the sea, and established the American claim to the territories of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.Together the captains kept this journal: a richly detailed record of the flora and fauna they sighted, the native tribes they encountered, and the aweinspiring landscape they traversed, from their base camp near presentday St. Louis to the mouth of the Columbia River, which has become an incomparable contribution to the literature of exploration and the writing of natural history.
