Who did Meriwether Lewis buy his dog from?
The guy's name was Brady. He was a rough sailor who sold Seaman to Meriwether Lewis for $20 after a lot of lying probably to get the price higher. He lyed about Seaman, who he had named Runt, saving him from drowning three times and all sorts of things like that. Also, while Brady was arguing with Lewis, he started calling Sea (Seaman's nickname) Champion so Sea ended up having three different names in the span of just a few minutes. If you want to know more about this, try reading the book "The Captain's Dog My Journey with the LEWIS AND CLARK Tribe" by Roland Smith
What did the lewis and clark expidition hope to find?
Their ultimate and official goal was the find a continuous water route from the east coast (or at least from the Mississippi River, starting at St. Louis) to the Pacific Ocean. In other words, they were looking for a river that went from one side of America to the other. No such river exists, but they did find a way to get to the Pacific mostly by river. They had to portage (carry their boats overland) before they found the Columbia River, which got them to the Pacific. They were also hoping to make maps of the western US (which virtually no Americans and very few white people had seen at that point), and to document plants and animals that were new to them, and to establish relations with the native tribes west of the Mississippi. Thomas Jefferson also hoped to sort of "lay claim" to the western region of the continent by being the first nation to send an extensive exploratory part into it. But just before the Corps of Discovery (as Lewis and Clark's team was called) set off on the journey, the US bought the region through the Louisiana Purchase. Thus, another objective was added to the Corps's mission: to inform the native tribes that they were living in a country called America, and that their "Great Father" (i.e., Thomas Jefferson) wished them well and hoped they would come visit him sometime. This was met with varying degrees of agreeability. If you're interested in the Lewis and Clark expedition, check out Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, or The Fate of the Corps: What Became of the Lewis and Clark Explorers After the Expedition by Larry Morris. Both are fascinating and well written. The Ambrose book has several maps showing the paths of the trip. The Morris book has several portraits of the explorers.

Who is fenris ulf?
Fenris Ulf is a character in a book in called The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis. Fenris Ulf is a wolf in the story and is captain of the secret police for the white witch, who is the antagonist in the story. This, however, was only the name given to him in the American versions of the book. In the original version CS Lewis wrote, his name is Maugrim. Many things were changed in the American version. More recently though, the American versions were changed back to the original British version. Now if you pick up a copy of the book, it should say "Maugrim."
Why were Lewis and Clark unable to complete their mission-?
Interesting way to ask the question. It can be answered several ways.In the broader sense LEWIS and Clark did complete their mission, making it all the way from the Misissippi River to the Pacific and back again with notebooks filled with information about the land and peoples, flora and fauna they experienced along the way.In the narrowest technical sense, they could not have completed their mission, for there is no navigable water passage all the way from the Mississippi to the Pacific.But in the strictest intellectual sense of the question, they did not complete their mission because these copious and meticulous notes they made in their journals were not published, at least not in their lifetimes and not as they probably had intended. Hence, it took decades before their scientific achievement was recognized or adequately documented.Meriwether Lewis, the brilliant planner of the expedition, to whom the scientific writing was largely entrusted, was probably manic-depressive. He died as a victim of either suicide or murder as he made his way back to DC to make his official report to the President. However, he was already entangled in the morass of details that needed to be written up and published, and his leadership had not found a satisfying object after the expedition. Probably his adrenalin kept him on a psychological high throughout most of the expedition and suffered a letdown when it was over.But in a symbolic sense and in the broadest, fairest intellectual sense, not only did they complete their missions as both explorers and naturalists, but they also redefined the mission to meet the obstacles they met and embodied the very spirit of exploration. They were leaders, they were managers, they were thinkers, they were writers (especially Lewis), and they were almost ideally suited as partners. They were courageous and compassionate. They proceeded with care, but they took the risks necessary to achieve their goal. They were, in fact, American heroes.See Stephen Ambrose's dramatic account in his book Undaunted Courage -- and some of the many materials produced all along the trail for the bicentennial of the event.
