Who’s Who In the Lewis and Clark Expedition

The Expedition’s Founder

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

Early in his presidency, Thomas Jefferson’s interest in science led him to solicit

advice from the most important scientific minds in the Republic in preparation for a

major scientific expedition to explore the western regions of the North American

continent. In January 1803 Jefferson sent a secret message to Congress urging approval

for the western expedition. The unexpected purchase of Louisiana in April added to the

importance of the proposed scientific venture that was to be led by Jefferson’s personal

secretary and fellow Virginian, Meriwether Lewis.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
