Why did Lewis and clark keep journals?

Lewis and Clark kept journals so that they could report their discoveries to President Jefferson. At the time, Jefferson had just bout the Louisiana Territory and he needed to know what was over there. He chose Lewis, who was his personal secretary to go on an expedition and Lewis chose Clark to accompany him and be his second in command. They basically just needed to write down everything that would have been useful for president Jefferson.

What were Lewis and clarks interactions with sacagewea?

Sacagewea helped them by pointing in the right direction. Lewis and Clark did not know which way to go so they asked the Indian, Sacagewea. She must have been a genuis! that is crap, sacagewea and her french husband Toussaint Charbonneau accompanied Lewis and Clark on much of their journey. she helped in translation chains between the corps of discovery and the tribes they encountered. she was kidnapped as a child by rival Indians and was the sister of one of the great Indian chiefs.


When did William Meriwether die?

Their names were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and since I don't know which one you're asking about, I'll give both. Lewis died of two gunshot wounds at a roadside inn at Grinder's Stand, Hohenwald, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. He died the next morning on October 11, 1809. Clark died at age 69 on September 1, 1838, while at the home of his son, Meriwether Lewis Clark.

How many men were a part of the Lewis and Clark journals?

There would be a total of 31 people in the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark were the only ones who were permitted to write in the journals. Being that the instructions of what to write in them were given to Lewis only, and eventually Clark would know them, the others did not have the authority to do so.
