Wildlife Encounters by Lewis and Clark: A Spatial Analysis of Interactions between Native Americans and Wildlife
The Lewis and Clark journals contain some of the earliest and most detailed written descriptions of a large part of the United States before Euro-American settlement. We used the journal entries to assess the influence of humans on wildlife distribution and abundance. Areas with denser human population, such as the Columbia Basin and the Pacific Coast, had lower species diversity and a lower abundance of large mammals. The opposite effect was observed on the Plains. We believe that overhunting before Euro-American contact and the introduction of the horse, which heightened the effects of hunting, may have been major contributors to the historical absence of some species that are present in the archaeological record. The results show considerable human influence on wildlife even under relatively low human population densities. This finding has major implications for conservation biology and ecological restoration, as human influence is often underestimated when considering presettlement conditions.

Maps and Myths: Consuming Lewis and Clark in the Early Republic
The modern trail map is one of the most prevalent and problematical features of Lewis and Clark scholarship. Since the publication of the first route map of its kind in Reuben Gold Thwaites's Original Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, published in 1904, such maps have become a familiar and concentrated symbol for the expedition-a distilled represen- tation of experience, adventure, and discovery that is both easily consum- able and reproducible.
