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.
The group of explorers in the Lewis and Clark expedition were known as the Corps of Discovery. Led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, they set out to explore and map the newly acquired Louisiana Territory in the early 1800s.
After Lt. William Clark offered to join Meriwether Lewis on the expedition on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana), they named their team the "Corps of Volunteers for North Western Discovery."
Meriwether Lewis was 29 years old when he began the expedition
Famous explorers who led key expeditions include Christopher Columbus, who led the first European expedition to the Americas in 1492; Lewis and Clark, who explored the American West in the early 19th century; and Roald Amundsen, who led the first successful expedition to the South Pole in 1911.
