The Explorers: The First Lewis And Clark Expedition
As St. Louis celebrates the return of what once seemed to be an impossible expedition, we here, in Virginia, fully congratulate the venturesome explorers, U.S. Army Captain Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and their team as they return from a grueling and treacherous trek.
The expedition leaders Lewis and Clark were originally commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to locate the Northwest Passage and soon after that the explorers set out to chart the west; Although they soon discovered that, unfortunately, the Northwest Passage water route does not exist. Instead, the team encountered high mountains, dangerous cliffs, and fast rapids. However, the Corps of Discovery (Lewis, Clark, and their team) found more than they could ever imagine.
