		Captain William Clark, the red-haired co-captain of the Corps of Discovery, was born on August 1, 1770, the sixth son and ninth child from a family of 10 children.
		During this strenuous time, Clark “learned how to build forts, draw maps, lead pack trains through enemy country, and fight the Indians on their ground.” On two occasions, Clark was sent to spy on the Spanish, who at the time were exploring and building forts high up the east bank of the Mississippi.
		Clark wrote in his journal: “...set out at 4oClock P.M, and proceeded on under a jentle brease up the Missouri.” At the end of October, the explorers reached the villages of the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians, near modern Bismarck, North Dakota.

	Historical background
		The lower Missouri passage was also a time of testing the men, their equipment, and techniques in preparation for more arduous travels in subsequent years.
		Green dot shows the junction of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers; the latter is labelled as the "Padoucas River," and "Kansez" Indian villages are indicated.
		The Missouri River is well shown to the Mandan Villages in modern North Dakota, and the Pacific coast is depicted in considerable detail.

		The Atlas of Lewis and Clark in Missouri is a splendid re- creation of the natural landscape in the days when a vast western frontier was about to be explored.
		The Corps of Discovery's expedition began in territorial Missouri, and this book of computer-generated maps opens an extraordinary window onto the rivers, land, and settlement patterns of the period.
		This book is an intensive examination of the Missouri portion of the expedition through a series of twenty-seven maps developed by combining early-nineteenth-century U.S. General Land Office (GLO) survey documents with narratives of the trip derived from expedition journals.

		The scenic splendors that enthralled Lewis and Clark and their command are as apparent now as then, though the bighorn sheep, elk, buffalo, and deer they saw are now rarely viewed.
		On the eastbound phase, the Lewis contingent, separated from Clark's group, passed through it in late July and the first few days of August 1806—more quickly this time because the current was favorable and a long stop at the Marias was not necessary.
		In 1976, 149 miles of the upper Missouri River were declared a Wild and Scenic River, and on January 17, 2001 the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument was established by presidential proclamation.

		As the commemoration of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial in Missouri draws near, it is our goal that students of history understand the importance of the Corps of Discovery, as well as the significant role Missouri played in the Expedition and larger story of westward expansion.
		The result is a singular series of maps covering both the Mississippi and Missouri river corridors, showing the natural landscape in the days when a vast western frontier was just beginning to be explored.
		Missouri's Lewis and Clark history is unique among the many trail states in that no other collection of contemporary records paralleling the time of the Expedition's passage exists.

		Lewis and Clark's expedition first encountered the Missouri settlements in summer 1804, when the Missouri were away buffalo hunting and their villages were empty.
		The Missouri were farmer-hunters, growing and harvesting corn, beans, and squash, but also hunting bison and other game to supplement their diet.
		Lewis and Clark sent out a party to this village, and on August 2 the men returned with a small group of Oto and Missouri.

		Mandrell's remark reflects the fact that their boats, unlike Lewis and Clark's, are motorized, so they don't have to row or pole them upriver, much less tow them with ropes from the shore.
		On June 16, 1804, William Clark noted in his journal that the ticks and mosquitoes where they camped that night "are numerous and bad." Scott Mandrell notes the same.
		The reenactors are also discovering that the Missouri River—despite the fact that dams all along its route control flooding and the channel is marked—is still, after 200 years, a river capable of becoming dangerous.

		The Missouri's shifty personality was a constant problem for Lewis and Clark, who struggled against its powerful current and crumbling riverbanks, and for the millions who would inhabit its flood zone over the ensuing 100 years.
		The dams profoundly altered the character of the Missouri, evening out its ³pulse² — the naturally occurring spring rises and summer drops — and capturing much of the silt that gave the waterway its nickname Big Muddy.
		For the 10 million inhabitants now living and working along its 2,341-mile path, the Missouri is a provider: a source of drinking water, electric power and irrigation, and a venue for shipping, sport fishing and other recreation.
