<b>Meriwether Lewis</b>, born August 18, 1774, in Virginia, served in the US Infantry during General Anthony Wayne's Northwest Territory campaigns and, in 1801, became President Thomas Jefferson's private secretary.

He died on October 11, 1809, apparently by his own hand. <p/><b>William Clark</b>, born August 1, 1770, in Virginia, was the brother of George Rogers Clark, a hero of the American Revolution.

He died September 1, 1838. <p/><b>Anthony Brandt</b> attended Princeton and Columbia before becoming a freelance writer for <i>Esquire</i>, <i>American Heritage</i>, <i>The Atlantic</i>, <i>Psychology Today</i>, <i>GQ</i>, <i>Men's Journal</i>, <i>National Geographic Adventure</i>, and many other magazines.
