Lewis and Clark
Meriwether Lewis was well qualified for the first overland expedition to the Pacific Northwest. Lewis personally chose William Clark to be co-captain of the Corps of Discovery. I hope this helps :)
Lewis and Clark
Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) and William Clark were the explorers of the Louisiana Territory and US Northwest from 1804 to 1806.
The Chinook were first noticed generally by Lewis and Clark in 1805, and afterwards were greatly diminished in numbers by diseases brought by white trades. The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806) was the first overland expedition undertaken by the United States to the Pacific coast and back. The expedition team was headed by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and assisted by Sacajawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. The expedition's goal was to gain an accurate sense of the resources being exchanged in the Louisiana Purchase. The expedition laid much of the groundwork for the Westward Expansion of the United States.
They led the first overland expedition of the American continent.
