Abstract

Discovering Lewis and Clark http://www.lewis-clark.org/ was conceived in 1993, and has been online since 1998. The “Lewis’s Medicines” page http://www.lewis-clark.org/content/content-channel.asp?ChannelID=352 gives clues to the diseases that the expedition expected to encounter and provides an insight into contemporary treatments. There are six well-illustrated pages with interactive graphics that list the botanics, pills, chemical drugs, and nondrug items that were utilized on the expedition. The website was produced by Joseph A. Mussulman and the “Contents” section describes a website that is almost as expansive an experience as the expedition itself.
