Who was Lewis from the Lewis and clark expedtion?

Meriwether Lewis was best known as the leader of the expedition. He was born on August 18, 1774 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He was the second child and first son of William and Lucy Meriwether Lewis. His mother was widely knowledgeable in herbal medicine and remedies. Meriwether heavily drew information from her mother's teachings during the expedition to the West. Lewis learned much of his backwoods skills when his family moved to Georgia. He would later receive a formal education when he returned to Virginia around the age of 13. In 1795, Lewis joined the Army as an ensign and was stationed under General Wayne in Ohio country. Due to his bad drinking and misconducted behavior, he was transfered to a company of sharpshooters lead by William Clark. The two soon became good friends and gained each other's respect. Lewis rose to lieutenant in 1799 and gained a fairly good reputation. Thomas Jefferson, the former president at the time, appointed Lewis as his private secretary. Jefferson had a dream of exploring the west. He was the actual force that drove the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Meriwether Lewis was then appointed to lead the expedition and of course he accepted. He studied science extensively before embarking on the journey. Lewis was 29 years old when he was chosen to lead the expedition. He knew how to lead men but he wasn't the best leader due to his drinking habits and behavior so he was accompanied by William Clark. Lewis and Clark became one of the most renowned partnerships in American history.


How long was Meriwether Lewis schooled?

From about age thirteen in 1787 to age 18 in 1793 Lewis attended school. Lewis began his education at a local school taught by Parsons William Douglas and Matthew Maury. He then studied with Dr. Charles Everitt and then transferred to Rev. James Waddell in 1790. Lewis finished his formal education with Waddell.

Why did Thomas Jefferson pick Meriwether Lewis?

Lewis had been Jefferson's personal secretary (today we would call him a "personal assistant") prior to the Louisiana Purchase. Lewis was well known for being an outdoorsman and military leader, which were qualities needed for such a task as exploring the territory. Jefferson had to choose someone who had the ability, qualifications, and tenacity to travel into the unknown, as there were no maps of the territory. Lewis was an obviously good choice because of the group of men he assembled to go on this mission, they lost only one. One member died of appendicitis during the two year, 4000 mile journey. Such success can only be attributed to the leadership skills of Capt. Meriwether Lewis.
