The next morning, Captain Merriweather Lewis left the nation's capitol with Jefferson's letter of instructions and three generations of dreams of Western exploration.
He then met with fellow Virginian William Clark, and together they led the core of volunteers on an expedition of Northwestern discovery.
As Jefferson wrote on the eve of the expedition, we shall delineate with correctness the great arteries of this great country.
Those who come after us will fill up the canvas we begin.
In the 200 years since he sent his confidential letter to Congress, Jefferson's vision of a rising nation spread over a wide and fruitful land, advancing rapidly to destinies beyond the reach of mortal eye has indeed come true.
