About Lewis & Clark
In the spring of 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark pushed their keelboat up the Missouri River, beginning one of the boldest overland journeys in American history. They wintered with the Mandan people in present-day North Dakota, where Sacagawea, a young Shoshone woman, joined the Corps of Discovery as an interpreter and guide. The expedition crossed the Continental Divide, ran the Columbia River's churning rapids, and finally reached the Pacific in November 1805, having traveled roughly 8,000 miles round trip.
