Overview

Few people have conducted overland expeditions as noteworthy or impressive as that of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1803, Lewis and Clark led the first Americans across the North American continent from Illinois to the Pacific Ocean. First Across the Continent tells that story in full, in all of its engrossing detail.
