In January of 2009 the ownership and management of Discovering Lewis & Clark® was officially transferred from VIAs Inc. to the Lewis and Clark Fort Mandan Foundation of Washburn, North Dakota. Our intention is not only to preserve and maintain the site produced by Joseph Mussulman since 1998, but also to undertake a series of new initiatives and historical investigations, and to introduce emerging technologies at appropriate times, in pursuit of our mission to make this the most comprehensive and useful Lewis and Clark website on the Internet.
We welcome serious suggestions, comments and queries from our readers via the "Contact" utility at left, above. We are eager to receive proposals for articles, photo essays, and other contributions to Discovering Lewis & Clark®.

major addition to Discovering Lewis & Clark® this summer was "Unpacking Jefferson's Indian Hall," by Elizabeth Chew, curator at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home near Charlottesville, Virginia.
The page about the expedition's "Pirogues," which first appeared last June, has been substantially revised and improved with the editorial advice of Clay Jenkinson, who is the new chief Editor and Director of Discovering Lewis & Clark®.
he Lewis and Clark Fort Mandan Foundation is pleased to re-publish, for archival purposes, Day by Day with Lewis and Clark, consisting of 627 three-and-one-half-minute audio vignettes covering the expedition's 863 days en route. It was produced by the late Elena "Leni" Holliman for Yellowstone Public Radio, of Billings, Montana, and broadcast five days each week during the bicentennial observance, from May, 2004 through September, 2006.
An extensive revision and expansion of the original short page on the flags the expedition carried is Early Flags of America. It now consists of two pages, The Expedition's Flags," and "Flags of Allegiance."
The "Credits" link has been extensively revised. Photos and biographical sketches are now linked from the names of the officers of the Lewis and Clark Fort Mandan Foundation. In addition, the names of contributing authors (scroll down about the length of one page) have been linked to the site's search utility. Clicking on a highlighted name will bring up a list of the author's articles as well as other references to his or her name in Discovering Lewis & Clark®
The new "Share" item near the bottom of the "Discovery Paths" menu is a small pop-up that gives options for emailing the page you are currently reading, bookmarking and printing the page, and adding the page to various social networking sites. If you use any bookmarking and networking services, you'll recognize the icons in the pop-up menu when you simply place your cursor over "Share."
