General Lewis and Clark Information
Posted: March 2006 | Filed in: FEATURED
The most compelling web site I have come across for general information on various aspects of the Lewis and Clark and Corps of Discovery is Dr. Joseph Mussulman's Discovering Lewis and Clark site. Another very useful site is the Jefferson National Expansion Museum's Lewis & Clark Journey of Discovery site.
For access to primary historic documents, please go search at the Library of Congress's American Memory All Collections Search site, the Wisconsin Historical Society's American Journeys website, the St. Louis Circuit Court Historical Records Project, and the Library of Congress's special exhibits page. I also recommend Senator Byron Dorgan's web site Lewis and Clark in North Dakota which is not limited to North Dakota, but contains the text and facsimiles of historic documents from the National Archives and Records Administration. These primary historic documents give you a real feel for the times and may serve to encourage some of you to get serious about researching a particular topic. So here are some great places to start!
