    Lewis And Clark Comparison

For example, these two article are similar because they both were along the Mississippi River.

For example, in “into the unknown” they traveled in a boat with oars while crossing waterways where in the reenactment they used a boat with a motor. Also, the first explorers covered themselves in bear grease to protect themselves from mosquitoes where in the reenactment they used rush pills.

    Leslie Edwards Character Analysis

    **Along the way, Edward and Hunt's shared journey helps Edwards shed his aristocratic ways and learns friendship and honor, as well as a more humble view of a world he thought he understood. Hunt finds true friendship in Edwards and a sense of self-confidence he had not known before (so poetic, right? I took this from Wikipedia...I’ll cite it at the bottom**) After many setbacks, they eventually make it to the Pacific coast just minutes before Lewis and Clark's expedition. Once the celebration is over, however, they find that they don't want to go back to their old lives and both decide to continue their adventure. This means that technically Lewis and Clark won, meaning they got the credit. Crazy, huh?…

Captain Lewis with a guard, still on shore, the man who steered, not being much accustomed to steer, passed the bow of the boat, and the pirogue came broadside against the cable and broke it, which obliged me to order, in a loud voice, all hands up and at their oars.…

    Relationship Between Lewis And Clark

    One of the greatest American adventure stories started on February 28, 1803, when President Thomas Jefferson gained approval for his visionary project. This project was to explore the unknown West with a small expeditionary group. President Jefferson chose Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to head this expedition. Both Lewis and Clark had close ties to Jefferson. Meriwether Lewis was one of Jefferson's secretaries and William Clark was a close friend. The initial idea of the expedition was to include scientific inquiry, geographic mapping, and clearing the way for commerce, but the purchase of the Louisiana Territory, on April 30 1903, changed this purpose. The new mission focused more on diplomacy, which required the crew to communicate the transfer of sovereignty to every Indian tribe and foreign interest occupying the lands along the journey.…

    Fort Clatsop

    Fort Clatsop

    Upon the Corps of Discovery departure in March 1806, the fort rapidly decayed in the wet coastal forest of the western Oregon region, but was reconstructed in 1955 from sketches in the journals of William Clark. The National Park Service maintains a replica fort within the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park that is believed to sit on, or near the site of the original fort. The original fort, however, has not been seen since the mid-19th century and, despite efforts, remains of the fort continue to elude archaeologists. Archaeologists working at the site over the past six decades have described countless subsurface “pit” and “lens” features, variously interpreted as fire hearths and trash or privy pits, and sometimes interpreted as evidence of Lewis and Clark. The ubiquity of such features on the landscape and the absence of corroborative artifactual evidence call into question their anthropogenic origin, and archaeologists have often failed to consider the full range of site formation processes acting on the site. The replica of the fort constructed for the sesquicentennial in 1955 and lasted fifty years; it was severely damaged by fire in early October 2005, weeks before Fort Clatsop's bicentennial. A new replica, more rustic and rough-hewn, was built by about 700 volunteers in 2006; it opened with a dedication ceremony that took place on December 9.…
