Discovering Lewis & Clark

In the world of great discoveries, the names Lewis and Clark are some of the best known. But how much is really known about the men who President Jefferson gave the task of exploring the Louisiana Purchase at the beginning of the 19th Century. Today’s FamSite is one that sheds some light on those individuals, as we celebrate the Bicentennial of their expedition.

Called Discovering Lewis and Clark, it is a site that is the centerpiece of a 19-part overview of the expedition. It utilizes maps, expedition documents, photographs, movies and sound files to make the presentation. It is an excellent site to explore, with many options on how you do it. It takes full advantage of the current Internet multimedia technology, but also has a path for the older browsers and slower connections as well. Not only is it educational, but it is fun as well.

This is a site that is worth bookmarking, as well as sharing it with your class or classmates. Enjoy your stop here today.
