Lewis and Clark: 200th Anniversary 1804-2004
This is an online component of the exhibit on display in the University
Library, July - August 2004, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Lewis and 
Clark Expedition in May, 1804.  With a mandate from President Thomas Jefferson, Captains Lewis, Clark and company (known as the 
Corps of Discovery) set out to map the uncharted lands west of the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean.  The members of the expedition 
encountered flora, fauna and Native Americans previously unknown to them, and reported their findings to the rest of the nation through 
their journals, letters, maps, charts and illustrations.  As professor of history Ned Blackhawk states, “the first English speakers in the Far 
West, Lewis and Clark helped build one of the fastest-growing empires in world history.” (Encyclopedia of the Lewis and Clark Expedition). 
The exhibit showcases a variety of books, maps and government documents in the University Library collection.  We invite you to explore
this online exhibit by clicking on the items in the menu to the left: 
Books - select bibliography of books, maps and government documents available in the University Library collection.
Internet Resources - selected sites covering many areas of the expedition such as the mapping of the American West, the flora and
fauna discovered by the expedition, Native Americans encountered, and excerpts from the journals of Lewis and Clark.
A map of Lewis and Clark's track across the western 
portion of North America, from the Mississippi to the Pacific 
Ocean : by order of the executive of the United States in 
1804, 5 & 6 / copied by Samuel Lewis from the original 
drawing of Wm. Clark ; Neele, sculp.
