Biografije pobudnika in voditeljev ekspedicije, predsednika Združenih držav Amerike Thomasa Jeffersona ter kapitanov Meriwetherja Lewisa in Williama Clarka, odkrivajo njihovo življensko pot in vlogo pri uresničevanju ideje o odkrivanju zahodnega dela Severne Amerike ter dokazujejo njihove vodstvene sposobnosti. V dveh predsedniških mandatih Thomasa Jeffersona (1801-1809) so Združene države Amerike doživele velik gospodarski, družbeni in politični razvoj ter se začele širiti proti zahodu. Takoj po izvolitvi je Thomas Jefferson odpravil posredne davke, zmanjšal stroške za vojsko in mornarico. S temi ukrepi se je odzval na gospodarsko in finančno politiko dotedanjega finančnega ministra Alexandra Hamiltona, ki je bila usmerjena v centralizacijo zvezne vlade.

In two presidential mandates Thomas Jefferson's (1801-1809) the United States of America achieved a huge economic, social and political development and started spreading towards West. Immediately after being elected president, Thomas Jefferson abolished the indirect taxes and cut the expenses for the army and navy needs. With these measures he responded to the financial politics of the then Minister of finance, Alexander Hamilton, which was aumed at the centralisation of the federal government.
