Without doing any research, I do know that there is at least one piece of physical evidence; I have seen it, and you can see it, too. At the Pompey's Pillar National Monument in Montana, William Clark's carved signature has been preserved under glass, where it can be viewed by the public: http://www.mt.blm.gov/pillarmon/graphics/clarksig.jpg |

Same thing different article I believe: http://www.nationaltrust.org/magazine/archives/arch_story/101001.htm But this article states: Pompeys Pillar, 28 miles from Billings, Mont., bears the only physical evidence of the Lewis & Clark expedition. (BLM) -AI |

This video, from The Discovery Channel, may be of interest: http://shopping.discovery.com/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10000&storeId=10000&productId=24251&langId=-1&search=Y&searchKey=-476372419 A quote from the description of "The Search for Lewis and Clark" video: "Ken Karsmizki, a historical archaeologist at the Museum of the Rockies, has spent the last fourteen years on the trail of Lewis and Clark and he has announced the first discovery ever of a Lewis and Clark site. Follow Ken as he uses intensive archival research, geophysical survey, and methodical archaeological excavations to locate the evidence. Old fashioned detective work and advanced scientific applications yield definitive proof of one of the most important journeys in American history."

"The Search for Lewis and Clark" video

I found the hour-long video interesting, combining the modern day search with reenactments. They covered several locations along the route (as pinkfreud mentioned). There was very little left behind to find. Maybe the most important items were the journals. I'll mention this other video by Ken Burns. http://www.pbs.org/lewisandclark/ Good luck in your search! |

One interesting artifact that has not yet been found is the collapsible metal boat that the expedition carefully buried for later use during their trip. I believe it was mentioned in the Ambrose book. Brad-ga |
