President Thomas Jefferson asked Meriwether Lewis to lead the expedition, known as the Lewis and Clark Expedition, to explore the land west of the Mississippi River. He also appointed William Clark as Lewis's co-leader for the journey, which aimed to map the territory, establish trade relationships with Native American tribes, and find a practical route to the Pacific Ocean. The expedition was funded by Congress and took place from 1804 to 1806.
