Captain Lewis was the leader of the famous Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery. This group of 31 men set out in 1803 and made their way across the North American continent to the Pacific Ocean and returned safely with 30 of their 31 men. They showed that the continent could be crossed and first created the notion that the United States might one day extend to the Pacific Ocean. They surveyed a huge area and were the first to document many species of plants and animals. They did meticulous measurements. The members of the group went on to do great things -- documenting Yellowstone, making treaties with native tribes, and helping open the west. Lieutenant Clark was later Brigadier General Clark of the Missouri National Guard and was an important figure for many years. Captain Lewis had a type of Bipolar disorder and took his own life a few years after the completion of the expedition.
