Was Clark an army officer in the Northwest Territory prior to the Lewis and Clark Expedition?
Feller1ra
Yes he was. William Clark was a lieutenant-captain and was in fact Lewis' superior prior to the expedition. However, once Jefferson assigned Lewis to the expedition, Lewis was promoted to Captain. Lewis always considered Clark his "co-captain" and kept secret the fact that Clark was of lower rank from the other members.
