Louisiana Secretary of State/Museums/Old State Capitol/Louisiana Purchase
President Jefferson, a believer in strict adherence to the Constitution, was concerned about the legality of purchasing Louisiana before the agreement could be ratified by the Senate but he supported the decision made by Monroe and Livingston. Debate over the purchase and over the addition of an "alien population" to the United States was intense with the New England states eager to condemn the acquisition of Louisiana and the frontier states of the South and West just as eager to defend it. On October 25, the Treaty of Cession was approved by the Senate and, shortly thereafter, the transfer of power took place in New Orleans. By the single act of purchasing the Louisiana Territory, the United States of America doubled its size and greatly accelerated its march toward the Pacific coast. The beckoning West awaited a new generation of pioneers who would turn the dream of "manifest destiny" into the reality. ... [Read More]

Beyond Audubon: RediscoveringAndrew Jackson Grayson, Louisiana's Forgotten Artist [June 2004, August 2004, & January 2005] At the time of his death, Andrew Jackson Grayson had amassed a series of ornithological paintings and naturalistic material that places him among the most accomplished bird artists of the nineteenth century. His collection, "Birds of the Pacific Slope", remained unpublished and largely unknown for a century after his death. A native of Caldwell Parish, Louisiana, and former businessman and postmaster in Columbia, Grayson's love of art and nature began to come together after he first saw John James Audubon's Birds of America. Grayson envisioned his work as the complement to Audubon's. He would spend the rest of his life pursuing his dream of becoming "The Audubon of the West". The Louisiana State Archives is proud to host this exhibition featuring over one-hundred prints of the surviving 156 paintings in this series from the Bancroft Library, Unive ... [Read More]

Corps of Discovery
The results and accomplishments of the Lewis and Clark expedition were extensive. It altered the imperial struggle for the control of North America, particularity in the Pacific northwest, by strengthening the U.S. claim to the areas now including the states of Oregon and Washington. Lewis and Clark achieved an impressive record of peaceful cooperation with the Indians and generated American interest in the fur trade. This had a far reaching effect, since it led to further exploration and commercial exploitation of the West. Lewis and Clark added to geographic knowledge by determining the true course of the Upper Missouri and its major tributaries, and producing important maps of these areas. They forever destroyed the dream of a Northwest Passage, but proved the success of overland travel to the Pacific. The expedition compiled the first general survey of life and material culture of the Native American tribes they encountered. ... [Read More]
