William Clark served in the U.S. Army as an artillery officer and eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant. Clark had red hair and was a popular leader, which proved an asset during the Expedition. During the Lewis and Clark expedition, Clark was the one in charge of taking care of the supplies, guiding the boats, and keeping the journals. His partner Lewis was the one mainly in charge of diplomacy with the natives and keeping details reports of animals, plant life, weather, etc. After the expedition, Clark would serve as governor of the Missouri Territory and he continued to lead Native American affairs for 30 years as an Indian Agent, enjoying a high reputation as an authority on the West.
