Excerpt from Westward the Way: The Character and Development of the Louisiana Territory as Seen by Artists and Writers of the Nineteenth Century WE have lived long, but this is the noblest work of our lives. Robert Livingstone, American Minister to France thus ad dressed himself to James Monroe, special envoy of President Jefferson, the two statesmen having just purchased Louisiana on behalf of the United States. The place was Paris; the date, May 2, 1803. The follow ing year on March 9, Major Amos Stoddard of the United States Army crossed the Mississippi in a rowboat and the next day hoisted the Ameri can flag in St. Louis. This simple ceremony symbolized a political event that was to change the course of modern history. The United States had assumed final possession of its new domain, a vast area which doubled the size of the young Republic virtually overnight. This book, and the exhibition on which it is based, has been as sembled to honor the great event - that noblest work which took place one hundred and fifty years ago - the Louisiana Purchase.
