Lewis and Clark Author Event and at Library and Archives

The story of

Lewis and Clark

did not begin or

end with the expedition.

Meriwether

Lewis and

William Clark

knew each other

for years before

their historic voyage

of discovery.

Though Louisville,

Kentucky, is

often recognized

as the starting

point of the Lewis

and Clark expedition,

few people

know where they

met for the fi rst

time - Greenville,

Ohio. Author and

historian Caitlyn

Clark will be at the Lewis County

Public Library and Archives

on Saturday, April 29 at 1 p.m.

to discuss their friendship and

their expedition’s connection to

Greenville, Ohio.

In her presentation, Ms. Clark

will explore how Lewis and

Clark’s shared experiences in

Greenville not only aided them

during their famous cross-country

expedition, but also provided

them with the ability to navigate

the muddy waters of frontier

politics throughout their subsequent

tenures in a government

offi ce. Copies of her newly

published book,

From the Treaty

City to the Western

Sea: Lewis

and Clark in

Greenville, Ohio

will be available

for purchase and

signing.

This lecture

is being held in

conjunction with

“Reimagining

America: The

Maps of Lewis

and Clark” a

traveling exhibit

produced by the

Lewis and Clark

Trail Heritage

Foundation on

display at the

historic Hohenwald

Depot now through May

6. “Reimagining America” is

hosted by the Lewis County Historical

Society, the Meriwether

Lewis Chapter of the Lewis and

Clark Trail Heritage Foundation,

and the Friends of the Lewis

County Public Library and

Archives.
