Lewis and Clark: What Else Happened
Description
This weblog is not so much about Lewis and Clark as it is a riff on Lewis and Clark. It’s about simultaneity. Ever think back to an important day in your life and wonder what else happened that day? Here I’ve considered every day of the Lewis and Clark expedition as important, and looked for simultaneities. The Lewis and Clark expedition left St. Louis on May 14, 1804, and returned on September 23, 1806. For each corresponding day during 2004-2006, the weblog shorthands the expedition’s activities and then describes something else happening in American history on that day.
