The Expedition Of Lewis And Clark

“ We were also fortunate enough to engage in our service a Canadian Frenchman, who had been with the Chayenne Indians on the Black Mountains, and last summer descended thence by little Missouri.”(Clark) As we know, in American history, the expedition of Lewis and Clark was one of the things that sparked the world in the 1800’s. Although, Lewis and Clark was not alone. They had two special, important and determined individuals to go along with them on the expedition, which made it more of a success, even though it took longer than intended to, to get to their destination. Their names are Sacagawea and York. The success of the Lewis and Clark expedition was based on Sacagawea and York’s race, familiarity of the landscape, and their knowledge.
