Two centuries after their expedition awoke the nation both to the promise & to the disquiet of the vast territory out west, Lewis & Clark still stir the imagination, & their adventure remains one of the most celebrated & studied chapters in American history. This volume explores the legacy of Lewis & Clark`s momentous journey &, on the occasion of its bicentennial, considers the impact of their westward expedition on American culture. Approaching their subject from many different perspectives--literature, history, women`s studies, law, medicine, & environmental history, among others--the authors chart shifting attitudes about the explorers & their journals, together creating a compelling, finely detailed picture of the ”interdisciplinary intrigue” that has always surrounded Lewis & Clark`s accomplishment. This collection is most remarkable for its insights into ongoing debates over the relationships between settler culture & aboriginal peoples, law & land tenure, manifest destiny & westward expansion, as well as over the character of Sacagawea, the expedition`s vision of nature, & the interpretation & preservation of the Lewis & Clark Trail. ...

They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.

During the years between 1890 & 1930 Lewisham was a byword for solid comfort & respectability. However, this was a time of rapid change, when the wealthy merchants who had dominated Victorian Lewisham were moving further from their workplaces in london, & the streets were being colonised by thousands of lower middle class settlers. The commercial clerk was the characteristic denizen of early twentieth-century Lewisham. These new inhabitants were great lovers of postcards, & most of the pictures presented here, more than two hundred in total, & taken from the huge number of them published during that classic period. Very few have appeared in book form before. There are photographs of Blackheath (both the Lewisham & Greenwich parts), Lee, central Lewisham, Hither Green, Ladywell, Crofton Park, Catford, Bellingham, Southend Village, & Grove Park. Most of the sections can form the basis for an interesting historical & architectural walk. But hurry! One of the old Lewisham buildinhs illustrated here has probably been demolished while you have been reading this! ...
