Excerpt from History of the Expedition Under the Command of Captains Lewis and Clarke, to the Sources of the Missouri, Thence Across the Rocky Mountains, and Down the River Columbia to the Pacific Ocean, Vol. 1 of 2: Performed During the Years 1804, 1805, 1806, by Order of the Government of the United States
The History of the Expedition of Captains Lewis and Clarke, during the years 1804, 1805, and. 1806, by order of the Government of the United States, is the first narrative which difiused widely at that time a knowledge of the so-called Oregon Territory, and, the intermediate country from the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains. It, presents a description of a new and magnificent region, unvisited before by white men, with its barbarous tribes, their character and habits, and abounding in herds of buffalo, deer, and ante lope, outnumbering the human tenants of the land. The Exposition held at Portland, Oregon, during the year of 1905, in commemoration of the great achieve ments attained by the Lewis and Clarke Expedition did surely lend a renewed interest to their Journal. The work being now nearly out of print, it seemed to the publishers a suitable time to put forth a new edition of the Journal of Lewis and Clarke, pruned of unimpor tant details, with a sketch of the progress of maritime discovery on the Pacific coast, and a summary account of earlier attempts to penetrate this vast western wilderness.
