The group of men who went on the journey with Lewis and Clark were known as the Corps of Discovery. They were a diverse team of volunteers, including soldiers, interpreters, and hunters, who were chosen by Lewis and Clark to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase and find a water route to the Pacific Ocean.
The Lewis and Clark expedition was joined by approximately 30 individuals, including Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Sacagawea, and her husband Toussaint Charbonneau, as well as other explorers, soldiers, and interpreters. They embarked on this expedition to explore the newly acquired territory of the Louisiana Purchase.
The primary objectives of the Lewis and Clark Expedition were to explore and map the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase, establish diplomatic relations with Native American tribes, find a practical route across the western half of the continent, and study the plants, animals, and geography of the region.
Sacagawea, a Lemhi Shoshone woman, was the Indian girl who accompanied the Lewis and Clark expedition as an interpreter and guide. She played a vital role in helping the expedition navigate through unfamiliar territories and establish relationships with Native American tribes encountered along the way.
Meriwether Lewis who had been appointed to the rank of Captain, was designated as the expedition "scientist". Prior to the expedition, Lewis went to Philadelphia for intense training by physician Benjamin Rush, astronomer-surveyor Andrew Ellicott, botanist Benjamin Barton, anatomist Casper Wister, and mathematician Robert Patterson. For three months he was tutored in the spring of 1803. The skills that Lewis learned would be passed on to Clark as they traveled. Prior to the expedition, Clark was in fact Lewis' superior officer and was very experienced in handling boats. Clark also served mainly as the expedition "doctor" and co-writer of the Journals. He often traded medical care for food and eventually established a reputation among the natives for his skills. Finding a man with a tumor on his thigh who couldn't walk, Clark cleansed and dressed the wound and left him some soap to wash the sore. He soon got better and as Clark says "this man assigned the restoration of his leg to me."

sacajuwea
There were 33 individuals on the expedition, plus Sacajawea.
Both went to places unknown and full of dangers.
they went on a journey where no man has gone and they left to seek more land I believe
to explore the Mississippi river and a route to the Pacific ocean
Lewis and Clark were accompanied by a diverse group on their expedition, including soldiers, frontiersmen, and interpreters. Notable figures included William Clark, Meriwether Lewis's co-leader; Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman who served as a guide and interpreter; and York, Clark's enslaved African American companion. The Corps of Discovery consisted of around 33 members in total, each contributing to the success of the journey.
William Clark (assuming you're talking about the Lewis and Clark expedition)
No, Lewis and Clark went by ships and wagons pulled by oxen.
No, they did not. But they did write a documentary about wha they have seen, but you won't get that anywhere because it all went to president Thomas Jefferson.
Well it was Thomas Jefferson who originally sent them on their journey to the coast, so I would imagine that he would have wanted to be kept updated on their progress and what they saw as they went about their journey.
