The Lewis and Clark Expedition, conducted from 1804 to 1806, aimed to explore the newly acquired western territory of the United States following the Louisiana Purchase. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, the expedition sought to map the land, establish trade relations with Native American tribes, and identify a practical route to the Pacific Ocean. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, along with their corps of volunteers, faced numerous challenges, including harsh weather, unfamiliar terrain, and interactions with Indigenous peoples. Their journey significantly contributed to the understanding of the American West and laid the groundwork for westward expansion.
All of the above
He was born circa 1770 and he began accompanying Clark on the expedition in 1804. Subtract 1770 from 1804, and he would have been about 34 years old when the entire Corps of Discovery left St. Louis, Missouri. He would have then been about 38 or 39 when the expedition returned to St. Louis on September 23, 1806.
There was a disease in the Lewis and Clark expedition
Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis. In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide, and headed west along the Salmon, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon. The expedition then ended on September 23, 1806 upon their return to St. Louis from Oregon.If you believe that the expedition began in Pittsburgh, then it took 24 months years and 25 days.If you believe that the expedition began when Clark joined then it took 23 months and 11 days.If you don't believe me that the expedition began in Pittsburgh and NOT St. Louis, then follow the related link to the Louis and Clark Journals' first entry. As we all know, the common American history textbook likes to smudge the details.
