Pictures and text trace the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition through the Louisiana Purchase to the Pacific Coast.

The letters and thoughts of Thomas Jefferson, members of the Corps of Discovery, their guide Sacagawea, and Captain Lewis's Newfoundland dog, all tell of the historic exploratory expedition to seek a water route to the Pacific Ocean.
