I am very excited to be bringing you this site on Lewis & Clark and their journey. This has to be one of the nicest history sites I’ve found. It has the one thing that makes a site a step above in my eyes— You can look at over 2100 pages of information about all aspects of the journey including:
The Preparation—Learn all about the Presidential Mission that they were given, which President gave it to them, and learn all about their preparation for this journey. What supplies did they take with them? Did you know: “The President authorized Lewis to select a co-commander, and in June of 1803 Lewis offered the position to a 33-year-old ex-army lieutenant from Kentucky, William Clark. Once, for a brief period, Clark had been Meriwether Lewis’s commanding officer.”
Exploration—This is where you can follow their journey step by step. And in the meantime learn all about the trek across America from location to location. With beautiful pictures, both historical and current, you can even get an idea of what these places looked like as they journeyed. This section will also fill you in on their adventures. Who did they meet? What kind of animals did they run into? You can even experience their journey day by day.
The Return Trip—While this section is not as varied as the Exploration section you will finish the journey back where they began. Learn about the people and places that were a part of their trip home.
Enjoy the Journey!
