William Clark used various tools during the Lewis and Clark Expedition, including navigational instruments like a compass and sextant, mapping tools such as a theodolite, surveyor's chain, and maps, as well as hunting gear like rifles, traps, and fishing equipment. Communication tools such as paper, ink, quills, and a cipher for coded messages were also essential for carrying out their exploration and documenting their findings.
William Clark's original goal was to co-lead the Lewis and Clark Expedition with Meriwether Lewis to explore and map the newly acquired Louisiana Territory, establish diplomatic relations with Native American tribes, and find a water route to the Pacific Ocean.
Meriwether Lewis was born on August 18, 1774, near Charlottesville, VA. William Clark was born on August 1, 1770, in Caroline County, VA. Therefore William Clark was older than Lewis by 3 years and 17 days.
When William Clark offered to join Lewis on the expedition on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois, he was 33. When the Corps of Discovery returned to St. Louis on September 23, 1806 he was 36.
The Lewis and Clark expedition was led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. They were both co-captains of the expedition, which aimed to explore and map the newly acquired territory of the Louisiana Purchase.
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are both dead. However, Meriwether Lewis was born on August 18, 1774 and William Clark was born on August 1, 1770. Therefore, if still alive today, Meriwether Lewis would be 235 years old and William Clark would be 239 years old.
