| THE REASONING behind this website
came from the need to inform my Northwest chapter of the Oregon - California
Trails Association of the amazing connection between Lewis and Clark's
Corps of Discovery and the Oregon Trail provided by the Columbia River. My
reading and research resulted in an overpowering need of "personal discovery"
into these remarkable journeys and over the past five years, has lead me
to the point of trying to put into words my feelings and sense of incredible
awe of the men, women and children who set out on their own personal journeys
of discovery. Therefore, this website is my attempt to #1 bring more recognition
to the Lewis and Clark journey through the state of Washington, #2 to bring
awareness to my readers of the relationship of the Corps of Discovery with
the Oregon Trail and #3 to show the powerful Columbia River at its height
of glory. This time frame will cover the years 1805-1860 and hopefully make
clear to the reader the Columbia River Connection: Lewis & Clark and
the Oregon Trail.
Please note that this web site will change frequently. Each page will contain 6 or 7 dates with several pictures that correlate with the text. At present we are up to Oct. 15, 1805. The other links work, but they take you to incomplete pages. Other Trails    Proceed
