About This Book

Daily field entries record an expedition's route and activities from departure through return, noting campsite locations, courses and distances, and weather. The writers systematically document landscapes, river passages, mountain crossings, and the practical difficulties of navigation and supply. They describe interactions and exchanges with Indigenous peoples, catalog local plants and animals, and record celestial and other scientific observations. Together these entries blend logistical reporting and natural-history detail to convey the steady progress, hardships, and evolving knowledge gathered during a prolonged journey of exploration.

THE JOURNALS OF LEWIS AND CLARK


By Meriwether Lewis and and William Clark



1804-1806





Transcriber's Note: These Journals are from May 14, 1804, the day the expedition left the Mississippi River, to September 26, 1806, a day or two after they arrived back in St. Louis. It includes all possible Journal entries of Lewis and Clark. Most of the "courses and distances" and "celestial observations" have been omitted. The notes and most of the corrections of past editors have been removed. There are a few OCR errors, but most of the misspellings are almost 200 years old. The dates with the names in the brackets are a little redundent. They are included to provide the correct date in a consistent format.

PG Editor's Note: Misspellings, inventive punctuation and lack of punctuation along with variable capitalization, and not entirely clear abbreviations have been left as is. DW
