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, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 at this time. She was with the Corps of Discovery until they arrived back in St. Louis on September 23, 1806.

Why did Lewis and Clark hire Toussaint Charbonneau?
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 spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. He did make several contributions to the success of the expedition. He was helpful when the expedition encountered French trappers from Canada. He served as a cook and his skill in striking a bargain came in handy. ---------------------------------------- Charbonneau, despite Clark's dislike of him, was an excellent trapper and hunter. Also, it wouldn't have been proper for Sacajawea to leave her husband and be left with all those men.

In the Lewis and Clark journals it does not state specifically at what time Lewis and Clark left St. Louis. However, most of the time Lewis preferred to leave in the early morning to travel as far as possible. But it had rained during the first half of the day, so it can be supposed that Lewis and Clark left perhaps around 10:00 am rather than their usual 7:00 or 8:00 am.
