The Journey to the West
Me and 33 other men dared the challenge that is the unknown west. Our leaders Lewis and Clark were gave the mission to find the source of the Missouri River and find a East West river by the one and only Thomas Jefferson. It was the year 1804 and all I knew was it wasn't going to be easy.
