Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lewis and Clark Exposition: Portland, Oregon, June 1 to October 15, 1905
Late in 180-5. The noted expedition of Lewis and Clark reached its goal, the North Pacific Ocean, at the mouth of the Columbia river, and after weeks of rude buffetings with wind and wave - worn, wearied, wretched, and ragged established a winter camp near the present site of. Astoria, Oregon, and prepared to pass the winter of 1805 - 1806 in such comfort as might be possible.
Now, in the year 1905, the people of the Northwest are holding, at Portland, Oregon, a point touched by Lewis and Clark, a great exposition honoring the brave explorers and emblematic of the changes and advancement brought about by these one hundred years.
