The two men who explored the Missouri River in 1804 were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. They led the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and find a route to the Pacific Ocean. Their journey provided valuable information about the geography, biology, and indigenous peoples of the region.

When did Lewis and Clark begin their westward journey through the Louisiana Territory?

Contrary to popular belief, the expedition DID NOT begin in St. Louis, Missouri. The first entry in the Lewis and Clark Expedition Journals state that the journey began in Pittsburgh, PA on August 31, 1804. Lewis, who had been assigned by Jefferson sailed down the Ohio River with supplies towards St. Louis. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1804 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). They then named their team the "Corps of Discovery." From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis. Meriwether Lewis had spent the time prior to their departure in St. Louis gathering information from mountain men returning from the west. They then departed St. Louis in May 1804 heading up the Missouri River.
