they began the expedition with sacajawea on april 7,1805. There were 27 soldiers, 2 interpreters, sacajawea, Lewis, Clark, and Pomp (Sacajawea's son). If Sacajawea never saved journals and precious cargo from the lead pirogue we wouldn't have much recorded history of her

Did Lewis and Clark ever get hurt during their expedition?

Lewis would suffer from a bad case of the flu one winter and Clark suffered from a "rheumatism of the neck" which caused him pain for several days. For Clark, Lewis applied a "hot stone wrapped in flannel" to help ease his pain. On August 11, 1806, near the end of the expedition, Lewis was shot in the left thigh by Pierre Cruzatte, a near-blind man under his command, while both were hunting for elk. At first, Pierre blamed Blackfoot natives for the injury, but after the Corps found no sign of Blackfoot, he admitted the accident. Clark bandaged and treated Lewis' wound,.

Who cared for Sacajawea's baby when she was on the Lewis and Clark expedition?

She would gave birth to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau during the expedition on February 11, 1805, and she would care for him as they traveled along. However, at one point the baby developed an infection in his neck accompanied by a high fever, but Clark treated him with poultices and he eventually threw off the infection. Clark was very fond of Jean-Baptiste, and even nicknamed him "Pompy" or "Little Pomp", however during the expedition Clark had other business to take care of so it was up to Sacajawea and her husband Charbonneau to care for their child.
