Discoveries

The Lewis and Clark Expedition; which was commissioned in 1803 and ended in 1806; was the first party of men that went through the North American continent; then returned. During these three years; the leaders Meriwether Lewis and William Clark; along with Sergeant Gass and Sergeant Ordway; wrote page after page about their trip; describing the new plants and animals species they discovered and drawing the maps of unknown areas.
