THE TRAIL OF LEWIS AND CLARKE 



was the pioneer American trail west of the Missouri River, and the results of that explora- 

 tion of 1804-6 were of tremendous importance to the United States, and they were never 

 more apparent than now. 



A publication relating to the Lewis and Clarke expedition, just issued by Q. P. 

 Putnam's Sons, New York, stands peculiarly alone. This edition is a two-volume, 

 8-vo. one, called " The Trail of Lewis and Clarke, I8o4 = i904." The author, Mr. Olin 

 D. Wheeler, is the well-known writer of the popular Wonderland series of the Northern 

 Pacific Railway, in connection with which he made his studies and researches for this 

 work. 



Mr. Wheeler has traveled several thousand miles over the route of Lewis and Clarke. 

 He has camped out, climbed mountains, followed old Indian trails, and visited remote 

 points made memorable by those explorers. Their route across the Bitterroot Mountains 

 has been followed, identified, and mapped. 



"The Trail of Lewis and Clarke " is illustrated in color and halftone from paint = 

 ings, drawings and maps by Paxson, DeCamp, and Russell, made under Mr. Wheeler's 

 direction, and from photographs taken specially for the purpose. The writer tells his 

 own story and supplements it with pertinent extracts from Lewis and Clarke, and a host 

 of other historical and narrative writers that connect the past with the present. Exact 

 excerpts and photographic reproductions, in halftone, from the ORIGINAL MANU- 

 SCRIPT JOURNALS of Lewis and Clarke are given. A chapter is devoted to the Louis- 

 iana Purchase, another to the preparatory measures for the exploration, and another to 

 the history of each man of the expedition so far as known, including a discussion of the 

 death of Captain Lewis. 



The Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, and the Lewis and Clarke Cen- 

 tennial to be held at Portland, Oregon, in 1905, make this work peculiarly timely, 

 because written from the standpoint of actual knowledge of past and present conditions 

 of the old trail and country. 



"The Trail of Lewis and Clarke " should be found in every public and private 

 library in the land, and the general reader will find in reading through its pages of large, 

 clear type that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. 



The book can be ordered through any bookseller or news stand or direct from the publishers.
