The Oregon Exploration and Lewis and Clark’s Northwest Work
The Boston Budget outlines Jefferson's idea for a transcontinental expedition begun in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase. Led by Lewis and Clark and a party of 43, the journey from May 1804 to September 1806 saw perseverance amid hardship, few deaths, and strong Indian relations while highlighting the lack of scientific credit. The narrative traces routes from Wood River to Fort Mandan, Three Forks, and the Missouri headwaters, ending with the return to St. Louis. It notes Clark’s possible Yellowstone Park border near the end and contrasts exploration with future national park creation. The piece closes with an advertisement for Dr King’s New Life Pills.
