Detailed explanation-1: -In the interim, Patrick Gass, one of the Corps of Discovery members, published his journals of the trip and its findings. This caused both Jefferson and Lewis considerable distress, and probably added to Lewis’s declining frame of mind.
Detailed explanation-2: -Today, the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia holds the journals kept by Captains Lewis and Clark.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lewis and Clark’s team mapped uncharted land, rivers, and mountains. They brought back journals filled with details about Native American tribes and scientific notes about plants and animals they’d never seen before. They also brought back stories-tales that made other Americans dream about heading west.
Detailed explanation-4: -Throughout the course of their two-year journey, Lewis and Clark took detailed notes in a series of journals, which they presented to Jefferson at the conclusion of their expedition and ultimately had published for the general public.
