[LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION]. A collection of three newspapers printing notices of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Comprising:
ONE OF THE EARLIEST OBTAINABLE NOTICES OF THE SUCCESS OF LEWIS AND CLARK: "This serves merely to mention the long wished for and safe arrival of Messrs. Lewis and Clark, who were to explore the Missouri..." In: The Repertory. Vol. III, no. 88. Boston, Tuesday, 4 November 1806. 2o. Bifolium. Lewis and Clark College does not record a similar announcement until the next day (5 November) in the Columbian Centinal and The Witness. See Literature of the Lewis and Clark Expedition p.227.

Hartford: Elisha Babcock, Thursday 6 November 1806. 2o. Bifolium. Includes a lengthy report of the letter received by Jefferson from Lewis outlining their return to St. Louis on 23 September. This is an early notice summarizing Lewis's letter from St. Louis: Lewis and Clark College has one one two days prior.
JEFFERSON, Thomas. President's message of 2 December 1806. In: The Connecticut Courant. Vol. XLII, no. 2185. Hartford: Hudson & Goodwin, Wednesday, 10 December 1806. 2o. Bifolium.
