Since the time of Columbus, explorers dreamed of a water passage
across the North American continent. President Thomas Jefferson
shared this dream. He conceived the Corps of Discovery to travel up
the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains and westward along
possible river routes to the Pacific Ocean. Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark led this expedition of 1804-6. Along the way they
filled hundreds of notebook pages with observations of the
geography, Indian tribes, and natural history of the
trans-Mississippi West.
This set of the celebrated Nebraska edition features the seven
core volumes--those written by Lewis and Clark--and incorporates a
wide range of new scholarship dealing with all aspects of the
expedition, including geography, Indian languages, plants, and
animals, in order to recreate the expedition within its historical
context.
