I think the Lewis and Clark Expedition was the greatest undertaking in American History. I think landing a man on the moon pales next to it.

You just cannot get closer to the Lewis and Clark expedition without seeing the personal artifacts they carried on the expedition.

There's no map for you to follow and take your journey. You are Lewis and Clark. You are the mapmaker.

At a time when Europeans already had a long history of violent contact with Native people, Lewis and Clark made most of their journey in peace.

It can be done. If I can get Lewis in, I can probably wrangle Clark in, too.

I've always tried to be fair to my subjects. That's easy when they are as likable and admirable as Lewis and Clark, or Eisenhower.
