Lewis and Clark Expedition (1803-06) In January of 1803, Jefferson requested $2500 from Congress to pay for the costs of the trip. Thomas Jefferson then commissioned Capt. Meriwether Lewis (his presidential aide) to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. This territory is what is now the northwest United States. 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." At the time, Lewis was 29 years old and Clark was 33. From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis. The party of nearly 30 --including Lewis and Clark, three sergeants, 22 enlisted men, volunteers, interpreters, and Clark's slave -- departed St. Louis in May 1804 heading up the Missouri River. They would spend their first winter at Fort Mandan at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota. It took about 3 weeks to build Fort Mandan, which they named for the local natives, and they settled in on Nov. 27, 1804. There, they acquired a guide and translator, the Shoshone woman Sacagawea. In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide, and headed west along the Salmon, Snake, and Columbia rivers to the Pacific. They returned to St. Louis the following year.
William Clark was an American explorer who, along with Meriwether Lewis, led the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1804 to 1806. The expedition was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory and find a water route to the Pacific Ocean. Clark was responsible for mapping the route, documenting flora and fauna, and interacting with Native American tribes along the way.
No, William Baffin did not discover Baffin Bay. The bay was actually named after him in honor of his exploration in the region during the 17th century. Baffin Bay was likely known to the indigenous people living in the area before European exploration.
Some of William Clark's interests included exploring the American West, documenting flora and fauna, interacting with Native American tribes, and mapping uncharted territories. He was also passionate about expanding the frontier and understanding the natural world.

One common motive for exploration was curiosity about the unknown, but fear of being conquered by other nations was NOT a common motive for exploration.
William Clark is primarily remembered for his role as the leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, a historic journey through the uncharted American West commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson. His legacy includes mapping the newly acquired Louisiana Territory, establishing positive relationships with Native American tribes, and documenting important natural and cultural findings along the way. Clark later served as a government official and territorial governor, contributing to the expansion and development of the United States.
