Almost two hundred years ago President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and a corps of men to explore, map and record all they saw along the Missouri River. The maps and drawings done by the original corps were so accurate that today, we can still identify with ease many of the sites recorded in their journals.
The discovery of previously unrecorded animal life, plant life and native peoples caused great excitement in the scientific world when the original corps returned. If we were given such a task today, how would we record our observations? More importantly, what would we choose to record so that people two hundred years from now would be able to really know what our city, our lives and our time was like?
