Foreword
Lewis and Clark were heralds of national destiny. In their tracks trod the pioneers who fulfilled that destiny. Over the course of time, they and their heirs drastically reshaped the face of the land.
Today, Americans are concerned about the vanishing wilderness. They are joining together to save and protect remaining natural areas. Aiding them in their efforts are the various bureaus of the Department of the Interior and other governmental and private agencies engaged in conservation and preservation activities.
Numerous organizations and individuals have expended commendable efforts in marking the expedition's route and preserving associated sites. I recommend this book to all those who wish to follow the Lewis and Clark Trail and learn more about one of the most fascinating expeditions in our history.
ROGERS C. B. MORTON
Secretary of the Interior
Preface
I hope that this book will encourage preservation of sites related to the Lewis and Clark Expedition that have not already been lost or destroyed by the ravages of time, nature, and man. With the aid of this guidebook, many Americans will be able to visit the surviving sites. In so doing, they will probably recognize the critical need to safeguard them for posterity.
Credit for the preparation of this volume is shared widely by persons both in and out of the National Park Service. The historic preservation activities of the Service have particularly benefited from the assistance of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, cosponsor of the National Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings. The Survey is authorized by the Historic Sites Act of 1935.
