because Thomas Jefferson told them 2 right down everything
Lewis and Clark brought supplies like firearms, tools, clothing, food, and medicine on their expedition. They also brought navigational instruments, maps, journals, and gifts to exchange with Native American tribes they encountered.
Today, we see Lewis and Clark's impact. It is everywhere, from the farming in Nebraska to the roads in Colorado! Lewis and Clark kept journals, so we have those to tell us what it was like in the days of Lewis and Clark. Lewis and Clark told what it was really like here, [in the Midwest] so then the east knew what here [the Midwest] was like. That made it possible that people settle here! :)
Yes, there are several monuments and statues dedicated to Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the leaders of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition. One notable monument is the Lewis and Clark Monument in St. Charles, Missouri, which marks the starting point of their journey.
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.
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.)
Meriwether Lewis was the one who found the Lewis and Clark expedition journals.
they kept very detailed journals
The Journals of Lewis and Clark - 1965 was released on: USA: 23 February 1965
Lewis and Clark kept journals so that they could report their discoveries to President Jefferson. At the time, Jefferson had just bout the Louisiana Territory and he needed to know what was over there. He chose Lewis, who was his personal secretary to go on an expedition and Lewis chose Clark to accompany him and be his second in command. They basically just needed to write down everything that would have been useful for president Jefferson.
The cast of The Journals of Lewis and Clark - 1965 includes: Lorne Greene as Himself - - Narrator
buttstock
There would be a total of 31 people in the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark were the only ones who were permitted to write in the journals. Being that the instructions of what to write in them were given to Lewis only, and eventually Clark would know them, the others did not have the authority to do so.
There were two primary journals kept during the Lewis and Clark expedition, one by Meriwether Lewis and the other by William Clark. These journals recorded detailed accounts of the expedition's discoveries and encounters with Native American tribes, wildlife, and natural landmarks.
because they did so shut up
Lewis and Clark did run out of food at times. In their journals there were entries that stated they had to kill the horses in order to have food to survive.
they wrote journals and drew pictures of the places they saw
During their expedition, Lewis and Clark had to make it through rough winters and needed to seek help from the native American tribes that inhabited these winter grounds. There's a terrific book that chronicles Lewis and Clark's expedition from start to finish: The Journals of Lewis and Clark, edited by Bernard DeVoto published by Mariner Books. The Journals are a really fun read.
