Lewis and Clark Expedition - American Exploration of the West

Lewis and Clark Expedition - American Exploration of the West

The Lewis and Clark Expedition began in 1804, when President Thomas Jefferson tasked Meriwether Lewis with exploring the lands west of the Mississippi River that comprised the Louisiana Purchase. Lewis chose William Clark as his co-leader for the mission. The excursion lasted over two years, over 8,000 plus miles of new territory. Along the way they confronted harsh weather, unforgiving terrain, treacherous waters, injuries, starvation, disease and both friendly and hostile Native Americans. Nevertheless, the journey was deemed a huge success and provided new geographic, ecological and cultural information about previously uncharted areas of North America.

In this episode, we give a detailed overview of the Expedition by Lewis and Clark's "Corps of Discovery" - 45 brave souls who explored territories unknown for the new country, to include areas of the Louisiana Purchase and west to the Pacific coast. We detail the incredible obstacles they had to overcome, with the aid of Sacagawea, their Indian guide, as well as many friendly Indian tribes along the way.
