World Famous Heroes Magazine #1

An anthology of historical American figures and explorers, this issue features "Lewis and Clark: Pathfinders of the Great Northwest," chronicling Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's expedition to explore the Northwest Territory and descend the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, including their struggles against surly seas, yellow fever, and hostile Indians. The issue also includes "John C.
