The Lewis and Clark Expedition recounts this important historical event in dramatic, graphic novel format. When America was a young country, it occupied only parts of the eastern coast. President Thomas Jefferson wanted to explore and map the wild land beyond the Mississippi River, so he commissioned an expedition. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were the leaders of this historic expedition that chartered the northwestern land of America. Inside this book, readers will encounter the events, people, and actions that shaped the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
