Abstract

This latest edition of the Journals represents the midpoint of an eleven-volume project sponsored by the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska and co-sponsored by the American Philosophical Society, to publish a completely reedited version of all extant materials relating to the famous expedition of 1804-1806. Nine volumes (2-10) will contain all extant journal writings, while Volume 1 (1983) is already acknowledged a magnificently produced edition of the cartographic history of the trip, and Volume 11 will contain natural history materials, including reproductions of the herbarium sheets that Lewis gathered during the journey.
