Lewis & Clark in North Dakota
"True or False: All members of the expedition were human. Answer: False. "While purchasing supplies for the Corps of Discovery, Captain Meriwether Lewis bought a full-grown Newfoundland dog in Pittsburgh for $20 and named it Seaman. . . . Seaman accompanied Lewis everywhere. He made it from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean and back, 8,000 miles, suffering the same bad food, bugs and danger as the rest of the expedition." More interesting facts can be found under Trivia, along with maps, a roster and time lines."

Lewis & Clark at National Geographic
"This Lewis and Clark site is chock full of adventures for explorers of all ages. Elementary kids should head directly to Go West Across America for a virtual Lewis and Clark expedition based on the children’s book of the same name. Others will enjoy the cyber campfires, which provide a snapshot into the explorer’s world. "The whol face of the country was covered with herds of Buffaloe," noted Lewis on April 25, 1805. Can you imagine the plains covered with an estimated 60 million bison?"

Levi Coffin House
Reviewed February 13, 2000 by Diane Andrew, a parent from Hagerstown, Indiana who is not affiliated with the site. The underground railroad sites sparked a memory of a house used on underground railroad in the area where I grew up. I searched the name and found this site. I thought it had some good pictures and history of the house. Hope this is interesting to others wanting to learn more about the underground railroad.
