  • Botanical Illustrations of Plants Found by Merriwether Lewis
    On the Trail with Lewis and Clark Botanical Illustrations of plants found by Merriwether Lewis by Ms. Amatucci's Fourth Graders Stony Point May 2004 The Process Fourth grade students in Albemarle County study Virginia History in social studies. This year there has been a special emphasis on Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. May 2004 marks the bi-centennial of the beginning of the expedition to the northwest. Students also study plant parts and plant reproduction as part of the science curriculum. This project was an integration of social studies and science content with art, mathematics, and technology. Each student selected a plant or flower found along the expedition trail and then researched where the plant was observed and/or collected. As part of his scientific duties, Merriwether Lewis observed plants, illustrated them, and recorded botanical descriptions. Our journey started at the Lewis-Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond, Virginia, where we had our first lesson in botanical illustration. We learned that botanical illustration is the merging of scientific and mathematical observation and artistic skill. Using watercolors requires drawing, design and color skills. We brainstormed a list of plants after visiting the website http://www.life.umd.edu/emeritus/reveal/pbio/LnC/LnCpublic.htm. We each chose a different plant. We spent time researching and recorded where it was observed or collected; the town, county, state, and date. We also learned the botanical name as well as the common name. After a preliminary sketch, we learned how to transfer our drawing on to watercolor paper. Some of us learned how to manipulate images on the copy machine.

But then there are those who want to know exactly where the trail is…meaning where is the path that Lewis and Clark walked on to the Pacific? This is not such an easy question to answer. Part of the difficulty with this question is that with few exceptions we do not really know exactly where they walked. In many cases, some members of the expedition were Mark Weekley, Superintendent on the river in watercraft while others were on land at the same time. This question One of the interesting questions I get from is also problematic because it is often time to time is, “Where is the Trail?” This based in a lack of understanding of what a seems like an easy enough question to National Historic Trail is and how the Lewis answer. My first instinct is to hand someone and Clark expedition moved through the our brochure with a map of the trail on landscape. Some folks have an image of the back, or to simply say the trail runs Lewis and Clark walking down a path single from Wood River, Illinois, to the mouth of file with Sacajawea leading the way.
