JOURNEY WESTWARD

What is this, anyways?

 * This is a pathfinder, a collection of reliable resources that you can use while researching the journey westward.
 * Using this pathfinder will help save you time, as you don't have to sift through different resources - some of the best will be here.
 * All the resources here have been evaluated - the resources are credible and the information is accurate. You won't find a website or book here that's inaccurate.
 * All the print resources can be found at the Caston Library.

Well, what's it over?

 * The different topics include:
 * Lewis and Clark's exploration of the Louisiana purchase - what did they go through to explore the Louisiana Purchase? Who sent them to explore it in the first place?
 * Lewis and Clark themselves - what were they like? How old were they? They had a dog - what was its name?
 * The Louisiana Purchase - who ordered the Louisiana Purchase? When was the Louisiana Purchase made?
 * Sacajawea - who was she? Is the accepted portrayal of her accurate?
 * The St. Louis Arch (Gateway to the West) - the development/construction process, and what it means today.
