During the 1804 expedition that followed, Lewis and Clark scientifically recorded 122 new species and expanded on the knowledge and habits of many other species in what would become the American West. The works of artists John James Audubon and Charles Schwartz have been incorporated into a 12-panel exhibit that illustrates excerpts from the journals of the explorers as they record their thoughts about this wondrous new world.

This is an outstanding outreach and education exhibit that will travel to many FWS refuges as the 200-year anniversary of Lewis & Clark's expedition up the Missouri River is celebrated during 2004.
