The book Travels Of The Source Of The Missouri River V1: And Across The American Continent To The Pacific Ocean (1815) is a historical account of the expedition led by Lewis and Clark, two American explorers, who were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1803 to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase and find a water route to the Pacific Ocean. The book is Volume 1 of their journey and covers their travels from St. Louis, Missouri to the headwaters of the Missouri River in Montana, where they discovered the source of the river. The book provides a detailed description of the landscapes, flora, and fauna encountered by the explorers, as well as the interactions they had with various Native American tribes along the way. The book also includes maps and illustrations that were created during the expedition. The author, Meriwether Lewis, was one of the leaders of the expedition and provides a first-hand account of the journey. The book was published in 1815, just a few years after the expedition ended, and is considered a classic of American literature and a significant historical document. It provides valuable insight into the early exploration of the American West and the interactions between European explorers and Native American tribes.In Three Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
