In 1979 a project to publish a completely re-edited version of the journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was started at the University of Nebraska. This new version was co-sponsored by the Center for Great Plains Studies and by the American Philosophical Society, and the Editor was Dr. Gary Moulton. For the next 20 years Dr. Moulton would be knee deep in journal entries, maps and scientific notes. The new addition would number 13 regular volumes, including an atlas of maps and Herbarium, the journals of Lewis, Clark, John Ordway, Charles Floyd, Patrick Gass, and Joseph Whitehouse, a volume of the expedition's botanical specimens, plus a comprehensive index. Dr. Moulton had to decipher the hand written text of these journals from micro film or the original texts to get the most accurate reading possible. This could be a real challenge with poor penmanship, improper spelling and the age of the entries. (Captain Clark spelled the Indian tribe Sioux 27 different ways ). It was Dr. Moulton's dedication to this project that produced most comprehensive works of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in print today.
E G Chuinard's amazing research and writings is an extensive treatment of medical research of the Expedition and fills in this gap in the history of the expedition.
Condition:
Atlas volume is some what faded, some corners and spine ends bumped. Jackets with some edge wear with occasional chips to ends else a very good set in like jackets.
