The Lewis and Clark expedition was an exploration journey commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1804 to explore and map the newly acquired western territories of the United States. Led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the expedition aimed to find a route to the Pacific Ocean, establish relationships with Native American tribes, and document the natural resources of the region. The expedition lasted from 1804 to 1806 and provided valuable information about the geography, flora, fauna, and Native American tribes of the American West.
I assume you're referring to the Lewis & Clark duo? Lewis owned the map and (at that time) the only compass in the United States. Clark, the smarter of the two, could read the map. (The map was in Mayan, hard to decipher.)
Two adjectives that describe the Lewis and Clark expedition are "pioneering" and "arduous." The expedition, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark from 1804 to 1806, was groundbreaking in its exploration of the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory. The journey was also incredibly challenging, as the explorers faced harsh weather conditions, difficult terrain, and encounters with Native American tribes.
William Clark explored for the United States government as a co-leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The expedition was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1804 to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory. Clark and Meriwether Lewis led the expedition to map and document the land west of the Mississippi River.
Sacagawea helped guide the Lewis and Clark expedition through the American West, interpreting for them and providing critical assistance with her knowledge of the land and its resources. She played a key role in establishing relationships with various Native American tribes along the journey.

First of all, it was Meriwhether Lewis who was assigned to explore the West. Clark would offer to join up with the Discovery Corps weeks after Meriwether Lewis started his journey in Pittsburgh (yes, that's right, Pittsburgh, not St. Louis. Check out the related link to the Lewis and Clark Journals for that TRUE fact) And Lewis began his journey in 1803.
