The Journals
of Lewis and Clark
Both Lewis and Clark kept journals of their expedition,
as did other members of the
Corps of Discovery,
notably Patrick Gass. The journal of Patrick Gass was
published in 1808. In 1809 Hubbard Lester, compiled
the Travels of Lewis and Clark from information taken
from President Thomas Jefferson’s Report to Congress,
Patrick Gass’s journal, Alexander Mackenzie’s Voyages,
and Jonathan Carver’s Adventures. The "Apocrypha" taken
from the Lewis and Clark Journals was first published
in Philadelphia in 1809.
