The Journals
of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Online. Initially
offering almost two hundred pages from volume four, this
website will eventually feature the full text of the journals--almost
five thousand pages in all. Also included are a gallery
of images as well as audio files of acclaimed poet William
Kloefkorn reading selected passages. The text of the celebrated
Nebraska edition of the Lewis and Clark journals, edited
by Gary E. Moulton, is searchable and easily navigated.

Memories" collection at the University of Idaho.
