Charlottesville,
Virginia: The Trip West Began Here !
Of
courage undaunted, possessing a firmness & perseverance of purpose which
nothing but impossibilities could divert from its direction, careful as
a father of those committed to his charge, yet steady in the maintenance
of order and discipline, intimate with the Indian character, customs &
principles, habituated to the hunting life, guarded by exact observation
of the vegetables & animals of his own country . . ."
-Thomas
Jefferson on Meriwether Lewis
