LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION – The Universal Gazette . Washington: Samuel Harrison Smith, 1 January 1807. Vol.4, No.462.
LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION – The Universal Gazette . Washington: Samuel Harrison Smith, 1 January 1807. Vol.4, No.462. An important local front-page report of Meriwether Lewis’s arrival in Washington D.C., marking the official close of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. “We have the high satisfaction of informing our readers of the arrival of Captain Meriwether Lewis at this place; after an absence of nearly three years and a half, which have been exclusively and actively employed in exploring the western country.” The report continues that details from the expedition are forthcoming and that a public dinner in Lewis’s honor is planned for January 10, by which time it is hoped Captain Clark will also be in attendance. This reception was indeed held at the White House but since Clark had not yet arrived the honorees were Lewis and the Mandan Chief, Sheheke. Four pages, folio (505 x 314mm). (Small hole, pale dampstain, subscriber’s name trimmed.)
