The U.S. in 1804 1803: The Preparation ![]() The members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition came from a variety of backgrounds. Many were born in the original Thirteen States on the East Coast, and then migrated to the interior states of Kentucky and Tennessee.

The cover kept snow and ice off the bridge during the winter months. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Professions and Trades of the Lewis and Clark Period |
