TIL that Lewis and Clark’s journals, one of America’s greatest cultural artifacts, are actually a bunch of diaries and notes discovered and added to over 220 years. 

Many have been found in unexpected places, including an attic desk in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a used bookstore in Philadelphia. 

There are big gaps of time missing and for decades historians have speculated that more will be discovered.
