Download or read book The Lewis and Clark Chronicles Epilogue and Index written by Joseph Groth and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Chronicles could have been authored by Thomas Jefferson. Instead, both the official and personal narratives of the expedition have lived through many iterations. The latest being those published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the expedition. But, unfortunately, until now, the narrative of their expedition has never been told as Captain Meriwether Lewis intended it to be. Himself a fellow captain, Joseph Groth as a boy also trapped beaver, hunted deer, caught catfish and trout, canoed border lakes, and became an expert rifleman. Then too, he gathered gooseberries and chokecherries on his family's homestead. Later, he traced Lewis and Clark's route from his paternal great-aunt's homestead near Bismarck, North Dakota, to his maternal great-aunt's homestead near Moscow, Idaho, and on to the Pacific. That interest was reawakened when he found a letter to Captain Meriwether Lewis in Albert Gallatin's papers at New York University, and decided to transcribe the original handwritten journals. In doing so, he discovered these Chronicles. He has annotated them to include brief sketches of the members of the expedition, background information about the Native American Indian tribes they encountered, and the current place names of the geographical land marks the Captains discovered and named in honor of members of their expedition. Today, sadly, none of those place names remain named as the Captains originally intended. Anyone reading these Chronicles will agree with historian and author Stephen Ambrose when he famously said, "The journals he [Captain Meriwether Lewis] wrote are among his greatest achievements and constitute a priceless gift to the American people."

Book excerpt: Few events in American history have shaped the nation like the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It opened the American West for settlement. It redrew the map of the United States. It identified an array of native peoples, spectacular places, fascinating creatures, and extraordinary flora unknown in "civilized" America. It defined the American nation as a land stretching from coast to coast-and it launched the spread of population in a mighty frontier migration unlike anything ever witnessed in America before or since. Lewis and Clark on the Trail of Discovery contains 19 chapters, detailing the expedition chronologically. A "museum in a book," this fascinating volume contains re-creations of original documents such as diary entries, letters, maps, and sketches-all meticulously reproduced so that the reader can actually handle and examine them. Among the documents included in the book are: The actual letter of credit Jefferson wrote to Lewis committing the U.S. government to pay for the expedition. The code Thomas Jefferson provided to Lewis for sending secret messages. Clark's sketch of the technique some Indians used to flatten their heads, a sign of prestige. Clark's letter of gratitude to Sacagawea, a Shoshone teenager who helped the expedition. A newspaper account of the expedition's return to St. Louis.
