Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

It’s graduation season! I’m heading to New York for my niece’s graduation from Hofstra University and to see the record-breaking, Pulizter-prize winning Broadway show, Hamilton. I’m so excited for my niece. And pretty excited about Hamilton, too! Congrats to grads everywhere! <\/p>\n

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark’s trailblazing expedition departed from St. Louis 201 years ago, on May 14, 1804. In a span of twenty-eight months, they covered 8,000 miles, journeying to the Pacific Ocean and back again.<\/p>\n

Discovering Lewis & Clark

“‘The object of your mission is to explore the Missouri River & such principal stream of it as by its course and communication with the waters of the Pacific Ocean, whether the Columbia, Oregon, Colorado or any other river may offer the most direct & practicable water communication across this continent for the purpose of commerce.’ With these words, President Jefferson set in motion the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804 – 1806.”<\/p>\n

National Geographic: Lewis & Clark

This Lewis and Clark site is chock full of adventures for explorers of all ages. Elementary kids should head directly to Go West Across America for a virtual Lewis and Clark expedition based on the children’s book of the same name. Others will enjoy the cyber campfires, which provide a snapshot into the explorer’s world. “The whol face of the country was covered with herds of Buffaloe,” noted Lewis on April 25, 1805. Can you imagine the plains covered with 60 million bison?<\/p>\n

PBS: Journey of the Corps of Discovery

In 1803 Congress approved an appropriation of $ 2500 to fund the Lewis and Clark expedition, which Jefferson named the Corps of Discovery. Over the next four years, the Lewis and Clark team traveled “thousands of miles, experiencing lands, rivers and peoples that no Americans ever had before.” Now, thanks to this great PBS site, it’s your turn to lead the expedition. Into the Unknown is an interactive game (and my favorite click of the entire site) which lets you make decisions such as when to continue up the river or to stop and wait out the storm. Other great clicks are the free Lewis and Clark screen savers, the native American perspective, and the expedition time line.<\/p>\n
