Before his inauguration on March 4, 1801, President Thomas Jefferson asked

Meriwether Lewis, a 29-year-old career officer in the U.S. Army, to join him in

the White House as his personal secretary. Jefferson knew Lewis and Lewis's

family, as they were neighbors of his Monticello, Virginia, estate. Lewis, a

staunch Jeffersonian Democrat, tested the loyalty of top Army officers to the

President and reported back to Jefferson. Lewis was sent with sensitive

messages to the ministers of foreign powers, and generally assisted the

President. But most of all Lewis listened. Lewis absorbed Jefferson's ideas on

geography, science, politics, American Indians, and diplomacy. It seems that

Lewis was being groomed to lead Jefferson's expedition into the West.
