visits Seaside Public Library, Fort Clatsop
SEASIDE and ASTORIA — In
1979, Gary Moulton began
a venture to publish a com-
pletely re-edited version of the
Lewis and &lark (xpedition
journals at the University of
1ebraska. The 20-year proj-
ect wrapped in 1999 with a
13-volume edition of the jour-
nals, the most comprehensive
works of the Lewis and &lark
(xpedition in print today.
A top Lewis and &lark
historian and this month’s
scholar-in-residence at Lewis
and &lark 1ational Historical
Park, Moulton will make two
presentations in the local area.
First, he will speak at the
Seaside Public Library at 7
p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13. His
talk will focus on Lewis and
&lark history in and around
the Seaside area, which will
include the salt making camp
as well as the whale expedi-
tion over Tillamook Head.
The event is free, will take
place in the library’s &ommu-
nity Room and seating is on a
¿rst-come basis.
Then, at 5 p.m. Sunday,
Aug. 16, Moulton will give
the special free presenta-
tion ³(diting the Journals of
Lewis and &lark´ in the Fort
&latsop visitor center’s 1etul
River Room.
This presentation looks
at the history of the journals
kept by Meriwether Lewis,
William &lark, and four en-
listed men of the expedition
as they crossed the continent
from 1804 to 1806. The men
of the &orps of Discovery
wrote more than one million
words during their voyage of
nearly 2.5 years. The journals
are ¿lled with accounts of
high drama, but also contain
elaborate notes on scienti¿c
inquiry: natural history, eth-
nographic investigation and
geographic revelations.
The story of the journals
is almost as interesting as the
history of the expedition it-
self. Meticulously written and
carefully preserved during
the arduous trans-continental

Gary Moulton is the editor of the Jour-
nals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, a
13-volume edition of the journals that was
released in 1999 and took 20 years to put
together.
92343 Fort Clatsop Road, Astoria
crossing, the journals reside
today in several archives
across the country, principal-
ly at the American Philosoph-
ical Society in Philadelphia
and the Missouri Historical
Society in St. Louis. A discus-
sion of this scattered distribu-
tion will form the main part
of Moulton’s presentation at
Fort &latsop. The talk will
also investigate individual
journalists and their writings,
examine the nature and qual-
ity of journal keeping, and
address questions about miss-
ing journals. Finally, the talk
will evaluate previous editors’
work and explain the need for
the recent edition.
The new edition numbers
12 regular volumes, including
an atlas of maps, the journals
of Lewis, &lark, John Ord-
way, &harles Floyd, Patrick
Glass and Joseph Whitehouse.
There is also be a volume of
the expedition’s botanical
specimens, plus a comprehen-
sive index. During his editing
process, Moulton had to de-
cipher the hand-written text
of these journals from micro
¿lm or the original texts to
get the most accurate read-
ing possible. This proved to
be a real challenge with poor
penmanship, improper spell-
ing and the age of the entries.
&lark spelled the Indian tribe
³Sioux´ 27 different ways.
Moulton is the Thomas &.
Sorensen Professor (meritus
of American History at the
University of 1ebraska, Lin-
coln. His editing of the Lewis
and &lark journals received
support from the U1L &enter
for Great Plains Studies, the
American Philosophical Soci-
ety, and the 1ational (ndow-
ment for the Humanities.
Moulton consulted for Ken
Burns’ ¿lm ³Lewis and &lark:
The Journey of the &orps of
Discovery,´ the U.S. Mint’s
design of the one-dollar Sa-
cagawea coin, 1ational Geo-
graphic’s Lewis and &lark
IMA; ¿lm, and Maya Lin’s
&onÀuence Project. He has
taught courses in American
history, the American West
and 1ebraska history, and he
has directed research and ed-
iting seminars as well as grad-
uate students. He also enjoys
leading Lewis and &lark Trail
tours.
The Seaside Public Library
is located at 1131 Broadway.
