Abstract

New evidence reveals that the author of the 1797 Indian Office Map was James MacKay, leader of the third Missouri Company expedition up the Missouri River. It probably was transmitted to Lewis and Clark when MacKay accepted a covert invitation by Private Joseph Field to visit Camp Dubois in 1804.
