PART OF JEFFERSON'S MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS, DEC. 2, 1806
LXVI. [From Ford, viii, p. 492.]
The expedition of Messrs. Lewis and Clarke, for exploring the river
Missouri, and the best communication from that to the Pacific Ocean,
has had all the success which could have been expected. They have
traced the Missouri nearly to its source, descended the Columbia to the
Pacific ocean, ascertained with accuracy the geography of that interesting
communication across our continent, learned the character of the country,
of its commerce, and inhabitants; and it is but justice to say that
Messrs. Lewis and Clarke, and their brave companions, have by this
arduous service deserved well of their country.
