1 After the United States purchased Louisiana from France, President Jefferson called for an expedition to explore the new territory. Jefferson’s secretary, Meriwether Lewis, led the expedition, along with army officer William Clark. The Lewis and Clark expedition would discover an abundance of natural wealth, about which the two young explorers would return to tell the world. When the expedition departed in 1804, there were twenty-nine members, including a few Frenchmen and several frontiersmen from Kentucky. Along the way they picked up an interpreter named Toussant Charbonneau and his wife Sacajawea, the Shoshone "Bird Woman," who aided them as guide and peacemaker.
2 During the long journey, the explorers met friendly Otos and hostile Teton Sioux. They discovered giant buffalo herds and the bones of a forty-five-foot dinosaur. They encountered antelope so innocent of human contact that they tamely approached the men. Both Lewis and Clark kept detailed journals, cataloging an astonishing array of new plants and animals.
