Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis.
In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide, and headed west along the Salmon, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon. In total they had traveled 7,689 miles (13,532,640 yards; 40,597,920 feet). The expedition then ended on September 23, 1806 upon their return to St. Louis from Oregon.

Why did Sacajwea go with Lewis and Clark on the expedition?
Sacagawea really didn't assertively join the expedition. It was her husband Toussaint Charbonneau who was invited and hired by Lewis and Clark as an interpreter, and Sacagawea would at first only serve as a companion. However, her skills in interpretation proved superior to her husband's, and Lewis and Clark were impressed. She was also very calm and level-headed in many instances, whereas her husband would often panic so Lewis and Clark learned to trust her guidance more than his. She became invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth, near the Three Forks of the Missouri, and as a interpreter between the expedition and her tribe when the expedition reached that area. After she gave birth during the expedition to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805 she also quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby.
How did meriwether lewis's accomplishments contribute to his country?
It is important to note that Meriwether Lewis couldn't have completed the expedition without the help of William Clark and Sacagawea. In fact, President Thomas Jefferson asked Lewis to lead the expedition, but Lewis wanted help from Clark. The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1805 gave people an idea of what the Great Plains was like. If they hadn't made that expedition, it probably would have been much longer before pioneers attempted to cross to California and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the fact that it would have been longer before people settled in the Great Plains. They also established friendly relations with many of the tribes, which made it safer for those who would travel and settle in the frontier. However, the expedition was of no benefit to the Native Americans, and only accelerated the speed at which they were driven from their land and their way of life.
