Book
Native America, discovered and conquered : Thomas Jefferson, Lewis & Clark, and Manifest Destiny / Robert J. Miller ; foreword by Elizabeth Furse.
"The American effort began with Thomas Jefferson's authorization of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, which set out in 1803 to lay claim to the West. Lewis and Clark had several charges, among them the discovery of a Northwest Passage - a land route across the continent - in order to establish an American fur trade with China. In addition, the Corps of Northwestern Discovery, as the expedition was called, cataloged new plant and annual life, and performed detailed ethnographic research on the Indians they encountered. Native America, Discovered and Conquered lays out in fascinating detail how their explorations, combined with the Doctrine of Discovery and Jefferson's strategies, became the legal basis for America's ownership of the Pacific Northwest, the removal of Indian people, and the adoption of the Doctrine of Discovery into American law."--BOOK JACKET.
