HIST 38.02 Lewis and Clark in Indian Country

In 1804-06, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark completed a remarkable odyssey, from St. Louis to the Pacific, and back. They wrote more than one million words, describing the country, and paid particular attention to the Indian nations they met. This class will use the abridged edition of the journals to examine the context, experiences , and repercussions of an expedition that initiated journeys of discovery for both the young United States and the Native peoples of the American West.
