Lewis and Clark Bicentennial - Part I & II

GeoInformatics, 2006

This autumn is a closing time of a three year period of commemorative activities in the USA to revive the memory of the times 200 years ago, when two explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark leading the Corps of Discovery explored, surveyed and mapped then unknown lands between the Mississippi and the Pacific coast. This is an excellent one-time opportunity for the readers of GeoInformatics to take a short voyage along the trail of this epic story and learn of the influence of a single map on the last two centuries of history of the USA and its nations.
