Beyond Lewis & Clark: The Army Explores the West. By James P. Ronda. (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2003. 106 pp. $14.95, ISBN 0-295-98356-6.)

Internet: visitor information, account of army exploration, Washington State Historical Society <http://www.washingtonhistory.org/wshm/exhibit-blc.htm> (April 1, 2004); Kansas Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission <http://www. lewisandclarkinkansas.com/exhibits.html> (April 1, 2004).

On June 20, 1803, Thomas Jefferson sent a letter to Capt. Meriwether Lewis outlining the goals of an expedition into the interior of the country. "The object of your mission," it began, "is to explore the Missouri River,... it's course and communication with the waters of the Pacific ocean...." And the rest, as they say, is history.

The depiction of this history in the current bicentenary celebrations of the expedition involves many exhibitions, publications, and spectacles. Two of the more scholarly affairs are the exhibition at the Library of Congress entitled "Rivers, Edens, Empires: Lewis and Clark and the Revealing of America" and the traveling exhibition entitled "Beyond Lewis and Clark: The Army Explores the West," which was organized by the Washington State Historical Society, together with the Kansas Historical Society, the U.S. Army Center of Military History, the Virginia Historical Society, and the Frontier Army Museum.
