In 1803, Thomas Jefferson commissioned Capt. Meriwether Lewis and Lt. William Clark to explore what is now the northwest United States. The party of nearly thirty men including Lewis and Clark, three sergeants, twenty two enlisted men, volunteers, interpreters, departed St. Louis in May 1804 heading up the Missouri River. They wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, where 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. Louis and Clark were very famous historical explorers.They captured Sacagawea and York. York was a slave for them on the aventure and wasn't set free until 6 years went by. Sacagawea, well you should know who she is and if you don't type in "Who is Sacagawea"
