Exploring the West from Monticello

This fascinating Web site examines the planning of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the cartographic tradition that made it possible. Thomas Jefferson personally planned and promoted Lewis and Clark's successful expedition of 1804-1806. Most of the objects displayed in this exhibit were part of Jefferson's personal library. The site is handsomely presented and rich in content. A bibliography of print resources and links to related WWW resources are included.
