Lewis and Clark embarked on their expedition in 1804 primarily to explore the newly acquired western territory of the United States following the Louisiana Purchase. Their mission was to map the region, establish trade relationships with Native American tribes, and search for a practical route to the Pacific Ocean. Additionally, they aimed to collect scientific data on the geography, flora, and fauna of the area. This journey significantly expanded American knowledge of the west and facilitated future westward expansion.

What time did the Lewis and Clark expedition leave St. Louis?

In the Lewis and Clark journals it does not state specifically at what time Lewis and Clark left St. Louis. However, most of the time Lewis preferred to leave in the early morning to travel as far as possible. But it had rained during the first half of the day, so it can be supposed that Lewis and Clark left perhaps around 10:00 am rather than their usual 7:00 or 8:00 am.
