Lewis and Clark with an Indian Council

This engraving, by Matthew Carey, shows Lewis and Clark holding a council with Native Americans.  It is included in the 1812 edition of A Journal of the Voyages and Travels of a Corps of Discovery, Under the Command of Capt. Lewis and Capt. Clarke by Patrick Gass.  (The original book, published in 1807, was the first account to be printed by a Corps of Discovery member.)
