What was the date Lewis and Clark first took off for the their voyage.
"Lewis and Clark's expidition arived on November 14, 1805."
There was no Oregon Trail during the time of Lewis and Clark's expedition in 1804. The beginnings of the trail, which led from Missouri to Oregon and Washington, date from 1811 but allowed only for travel by foot or horseback. Eventually the path was widened, and in 1836 the first wagon train took that route to Fort Hall, Idaho. The large surge of pioneers heading west did not occur until 1843.
The Lewis and Clark expedition left Fort Clatsop on March 23, 1806.

The first recorded contact with the Walla Walla people was in 1805 when the Lewis and Clark expedition arrived in the area. It is possible that British or American sailors had already made contact prior to that date, but if so no record was kept of the event.
When Lewis and Clark wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, there they met Sacagawea and her husband in 1804. Toussaint Charbonneau was interviewed to interpret Hidatsa for the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark (esp. Clark) were not overly impressed with him. However, Sacagawea his wife spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4,1804 and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 at this time.
