Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out on an expedition to find the end of the new American nation. They were the original pioneers of the west, and they were among the first of the American settlers to see the Pacific Ocean. When they finally reached it, they wrote the famous words: "Ocian in view O! The Joy!" They basically showed to the rest of America that there was much more to be seen of this great nation, and thus inspired a Westward Expansion movement that would span the duration of the next century.
