The men on the Corps of Discovery Expedition, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark from 1804 to 1806, were a diverse group, including skilled frontiersmen, soldiers, and interpreters. They were characterized by their resilience, resourcefulness, and camaraderie, as they faced challenging terrains and harsh conditions while exploring the uncharted American West. Many were experienced in hunting and survival skills, which were essential for their journey, while others brought specialized knowledge, such as cartography and diplomacy. Overall, their determination and teamwork played a crucial role in the success of the expedition.
His name was York, and he was Clark's slave, willed to him by his father. But Clark did not like to refer to him as slave, so in the journals he just called him "my servant". The two men had grown up together. York was tall, strong, a valuable member of the expedition, and devoted to Clark, who freed him when they returned to St. Louis. Subsequently Clark set him up in the draying business.

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,.

The only man known to have died during the Lewis and Clark Expedition was Sergeant Charles Floyd. Sergeant Floyd was born in Kentucky and was one of the first men to enlist in the expedition, on August 1, 1803.

Lewis and Clark recruited men primarily from their home states of Virginia and Pennsylvania, as well as from the frontier regions. They sought individuals with specific skills, such as hunters, boatmen, and interpreters, to aid in their expedition. Training involved preparation for the challenges of the journey, including survival skills, navigation, and teamwork. The Corps of Discovery was formed, consisting of about 33 members, who underwent brief orientation before embarking on their historic expedition.
William Clark and nearly four dozen other men met up with Meriwether Lewis on May 20, 1804. This is when the "the Corps of Discovery" expedition began making its way up the Missouri River aboard a 55-foot-long keelboat and two smaller pirogues.
