The Lewis and Clark expedition explored the Louisiana Purchase territory and the Pacific Northwest, while the Pike expedition explored areas in the Louisiana Purchase, including present-day Colorado and New Mexico. Lewis and Clark focused on the Missouri River and the Columbia River, while Pike's expedition concentrated on the southwestern portion of the Louisiana Purchase.
The group of men who went on the journey with Lewis and Clark were known as the Corps of Discovery. They were a diverse team of volunteers, including soldiers, interpreters, and hunters, who were chosen by Lewis and Clark to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase and find a water route to the Pacific Ocean.
Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark lead a group of men called the "Corps of Discovery" to explore the Louisiana Territory from 1804 to 1806.
In January of 1803, Thomas Jefferson commissioned Capt. Meriwether Lewis (his presidential aide) to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. 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).They then named their team the "Corps of Discovery."After that, the party consisted of nearly 30 with three sergeants, 22 enlisted men, volunteers, interpreters, and Clark's slave.
