Why did Lewis and Clark's expedition stop?
The Lewis and Clark Expedition ended because Meriwether Lewis and William Clark finished the journey to the Pacific Ocean and back to Missouri. The President Thomas Jefferson asked them to explore the land, plants and animals in that unexplored region. They figured out the longitude and latitude of certain places and took samples of plants and animals along the way. They had a Shoshoni native American named Sacagawea that went with them. She helped them navigate the land and also acted as an interpreter to Native American tribes that they encountered. She had her son as when they were on the expedition. Lewis and Clark became famous for their exploring of the Lousiana Territory.
What did the Lewis and clark expidition do after reaching the pacific ocean?
After reaching the Pacific Ocean in November 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition established a winter camp called Fort Clatsop near present-day Astoria, Oregon. They spent the winter there, gathering data about the local environment and indigenous peoples, while also preparing for their return journey. In March 1806, they began their return trip to St. Louis, retracing their route and continuing to document their findings. The expedition ultimately completed its mission of exploring the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and providing valuable information about the western lands.
What animal did the Lewis and Clark expedition spend an entire day trying to capture?
Lewis and Clark spent an entire day trying to capture a prairie dog, after they encountered their first prairie dog city which covered some four acres on September 7, 1804. They killed one, then captured another alive by pouring a great quantity of water down its hole. The following April they sent one live prairie dog to Jefferson with the small party that returned downriver to St. Louis. Remarkably, the creature arrived alive.
What animals did Lewis and Clark send to President Jefferson?
Gifts sent to Jefferson by the Lewis and Clark Expedition: (Note that Jefferson usually kept only some of the gifts, and sent most to the Charles Wilson Peale, artist, natural scientist and proprieter of the Philadelphia Museum) 1.) Horned lizard from the Osage plains 2.) A prairie dog (which they spent a day catching, and managed to arrive to Washington D.C. alive) 3.) 4 magpies 4.) a grouse
What role did York play in the Lewis and Clark expediton?
From an early age, York was assigned to Clark as a body servant. Like most slave body servants, he was probably more often with Clark than with anyone else. Clark most likely brought York not only because it was York's assigned duty anyway, but also because he was an already trusted companion. There's no way of knowing how long York accompanied Clark during the years Clark spent in the army, but it was not unusual for body slaves to accompany their masters into military service.

When and where did Lewis and Clark spend there first winter?
From November 7, 1804 to April 6, 1805, Lewis and Clark and the other spent their second winter at Fort Mandan. It took about three weeks to build Fort Mandan and settle in. The fort was comfortable and warm, which was good because otherwise the men may not have survived as temperatures dropped to 45 degrees below zero. The Americans would go out to hunt but the cold would force them back in and some suffered from frostbite. Meanwhile, the Mandan were quite friendly to them and they loved to see the corps dance, as they had brought with them a fiddle, tambourine and a horn. It was also during this time that Sacajawea gave birth to her first son by her husband Toussaint Charbonneau on February 11. IZANATOR1: Actually, they spent their FIRST winter at Fort Mandan.

What Indian tribes helped Lewis and Clark in the winter?
Supposedly the Shoshone Indians were the ones that let Lewis and Clark stay during the long cold winter months and probably the ones that sold them horses before they went to the St. Lawrence R. I believe that the Lewis and Clark expedition wintered at the Mandan Village. If memory serves the Shoshone connection was Sacogawea. The expedition may have gotten horses from the Nez Pierce. In regard to the Journals of the expedition there is a nice version edited by Bernard de Voto that used to be available in paperback. I am certain that the expedition went to the Columbia River. The most well known Saint Lawrence River (there may be others) begins at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and disgorges into the Atlantic Ocean.
