Carl I. Wheat, Mapping the Transmississippi West, 1540-1861, San Francisco, 1958. Vol. 2, p. 2. "Although the textual materials of the Biddle edition of the Lewis and Clark journals2 did not fulfill expecta­ tions completely, the first official history of the expedition did include an item of superlative craftsmanship and analysis. This was the master map of the American Northwest, drawn in manuscript form by William Clark and copied for engraving and printing by the Philadelphia cartographer Samuel Lewis. :J From the very early stages of the transcontinental trek, Clark had proven himself to be a cartographer of unusual skill, and as he applied his talents to the consolidation of the maps he had drawn during the course of the journey to the Pacific and back, a remarkable cartographic masterpiece began to take form.

    History Mini Unit: The Lewis and Clark Expedition NAME___________________________ DATE_______________ THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION PART 1 Thomas Jefferson became the President of the United States in 1801. He had plans for the exploration of what is now the northwestern United States. He wanted to find a route to the Pacific Coast, and believed that the route could be found along the Missouri and Columbia Rivers. Jefferson began to plan an expedition through the Louisiana Territory and the Oregon region. President Jefferson’s plan included gathering scientific information about the regions, and establishing communications with the Native Americans who lived in them. Jefferson looked for explorers to lead this expedition. He chose his private secretary, Meriwether Lewis, to lead the expedition. Lewis chose William Clark, a former United States Army officer, to join him. Preparations for this expedition were soon under way. Lewis and Clark brought with them the skills needed to make a successful expedition. 1 abcteach.com History Mini Unit: The Lewis and Clark Expedition NAME___________________________ DATE_______________ ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION 1.

  • Eastern Field Notes Relating to Weather, Water & Climate
    Section 1 Eastern Field Notes Relating to Weather, Water & Climate NOAA’s National Weather Service 2003-2006 Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery Bicentennial 1803 August 31, 1803 to December 31 1803 On August 31, 1803, Meriwether Lewis left Pittsburgh, PA with a small party in a keelboat and canoes. They moved slowly down the Ohio River due to low water conditions brought on by drought. He arrived at the Falls of the Ohio near Clarksville, Indiana / Louisville, Kentucky on October 14 and met William Clark with additional recruits. As award winning author and historian, Stephen Ambrose noted, “When they shook hands, the Lewis and Clark Expedition began.” (Ambrose, 1996, 117) They set out from Louisville on October 26 arriving at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi on November 14 and moved up the Mississippi through early December. Heading up the Mississippi was made difficult by low water and strong currents, and even more burdensome as late Fall cold fronts and accompanying strong northwest winds pushed against the boats. They arrived near St. Louis on December 12 and established winter quarters across from the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers at Camp Dubois near the mouth of the Wood River. The journal entries known as the Eastern Field Notes came to light when Nicholas Biddle’s (the first editor of the Lewis and Clark Journals) grandsons discovered new documents in their grandfathers personal notes. Milo Milton Quaife published these for the first time in 1916. To learn more about the history of the journals the reviewer is directed to (Cutright, 1976) and Moulton, 1986 2: 8-48; and 530-567).

  • Goshen (1796 – 1809)
    Goshen (1796 – 1809) Now with access to the Mississippi River and threats from Indians lessened, Anglo-American settlements in the American Bottom expanded. Many migrated out from the forts and blockhouses to establish homesteads and farms. In 1802 two settlements were established to the north of previous settlements in what would become St. Clair and Madison Counties: Ridge Prairie and the Goshen Settlement.1 Further ties were also established with the growing port city of St. Louis. With the Mississippi now open to American traffic, Captain James Piggot established the first American ferry to St. Louis This map shows the settlements in the St. Louis region in 1809, as well as the bluff line for the American Bottom, across the Mississippi in 1795.

The ties cemented further with the Louisiana Purchase in Whitesides had settled further north than most settlements at the time. 1803, with St. Louis becoming an American city. The purchase also altered the American Bottom’s relative location, which became centrally located as an access point to the west.2 For instance, the Lewis and Clark expedition spent the winter of 1803 and 1804 training at Camp Dubois in what would become Madison County before beginning their expedition west on the Missouri River.3 The federal government acquired another territory in 1803: the Saline Creek salt springs near Shawneetown in eastern Illinois. Though not as grand as the Louisiana Territory, the salt works attracted further settlement into Illinois. Shawneetown acted as a gateway into the more remote territory of Illinois, with some settlers The Indiana Territory was established in 1801, and the remainder of the Northwest Territory became the state of Ohio in 1803.
