Thomas Jefferson had dreamed of exploring the West for at least 20 years before he even became President. In 1783 he had even asked William Clark's brother, George, to take on the challenge. The Louisiana Purchase would later alter the character of the planned expedition from an exploration of French territory to a first glimpse of lands that, in the view of many contemporaries, were essential to maintaining the agrarian, republican character of the nation.
The Louisiana Territory had been a land purchase transaction by the United States of America of 828,800 square miles of the French territory "Louisiane" in 1803. The U.S. paid 60 million francs ($11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000), a total cost of $15,000,000 for the Louisiana Territory. After finally purchasing the Louisiana Territory, and two weeks before inauguration day Jefferson asked Meriwether Lewis, in January of 1803, to go on an expedition. Jefferson then requested $2500 from Congress to pay for the costs of the trip. William Clark would be invited to join later after they met at Camp Dubois.
The two people are brothers. William Clark was George Rogers Clark's younger brother.
William Clark lived from 1770 through 1838.
William P. Clark was born on October 23, 1931.
Clark's nutcracker is also known as the Clark's crow or woodpecker crow. The bird is named for the explorer, William Clark, who is one of the first (if not the first) to describe the bird.
William Clark married Julia Hancock on January 5, 1808. They had 5 children: Meriwether Lewis Clark, Sr., William Preston Clark, Mary Margaret Clark, George Rogers Hancock Clark and John Julius Clark.After Julia's death in 1820, he remarried to her first cousin Harriet Kennerly Radford. With her Clark had 3 kids: Jefferson Kearny Clark, Edmund Clark, and Harriet Clark.
