Excerpt from First Across the Continent: The Story of the Exploring Expedition of Lewis and Clark in 1803-4-5 This edition was republished in London, Dublin, Ger many, Holland, New York, and Paris during years ensuing. Altogether, there have been about forty imprints of the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The two latest of these are those of Harper and Brothers, edited by Archi bald m'vickar, and published in 1847 and that edited by Dr. Elliott Goues, and published by Francis P. Harper, New York, 1893. Dr. M'vickar's work is long since out of print. That of Dr. Coues, comprised in four volumes and limited to an edition of one thousand copies, can now be obtained with difficulty and at considerable expense. It is hoped that the present version of the story of the expe dition, told as fully as possible in the language of the heroic men who modestly penned the record of their own doings and observations, will be acceptable to many read ers, especially to young folks, who will here read for the first time a concise narrative of the first exploring expedi tion sent into a wilderness destined to become the seat of a mighty empire.
