Lewis and William Clark were known as the trailblazers to the
West. The two crossed the expanse of North America in 1803, and
their names live on as heroes.
Slaughter, a professor of history at Notre Dame, offers his insights
on the explorers as men of the 19th century; men whose prejudices,
motivations and actions reflect the times.
