The journals chronicling the transcontinental-U.S. expedition.
The Note prefacing the journals says: "These Journals are from May 14, 1804, the day the expedition left the Mississippi River, to September 16, 1806, a day or two after they arrived back in St. Louis. It includes all possible Journal entries of Lewis and Clark. Most of the "courses and distances" and "celestial observations" have been omitted. The notes and most of the corrections of past editors have been removed. There are a few OCR errors, but most of the misspellings are almost 200 years old. The dates with the names in the brackets are a little redundent (sic). They are included to provide the correct date in a consistent format."
