↑Lewis and Clark Expedition also known as Discovery Expedition遠征隊，
第三任總統Jefferson，發啟探勘密西西比河以西的領域，他早在1803 就對法國
控制的Louisana深感興趣，同時也對密西西比河以西，甚至遠在太平洋邊的西海
岸想有更多了解，1804年五月派遣這一支45 人的遠征探險隊，Lewis上尉領軍，
Lewis挑選個性截然不同的Clark少尉為夥伴，卻始終合作無間，翻山越嶺、湍急
河流、深入完全陌生之地，艱鉅任務達近二年半，其收穫可說美國史上無前例。

他們立下諸多貢獻，例如：
對西部山川動植物有廣泛卻深度的了解、開啟歐美人對原住民的關係、加強對
Oregon領土的要求、最終向法國購買了路易斯安那。留下一本著作：
“The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition”詳細記載了整個探險
（地圖得自網路）。並於1814年發表了全新北美洲地圖，詳記山脈、河川等。

分享，還須請各位移步去另一個窩，略嫌勞師動眾，乾脆把這些銅錢搬來，
比較合理，敬請參觀！
