Hello, we are Lewis and Clark. We were born in the 1770s and grew up to be two of the most successful explores in American history. Our expedition started as President Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory and asked us to explore and make friends with the Indians. President Jefferson gave us instructions to travel along the Missouri River and find a waterway to the Pacific. Our expedition started out on the 4th of July in 1804. As we explored, we came across villages of the Mandan and Hidatsas Indians. This is where we met Sacagawea, she was a very helpful guide as she joined us in our exploration to find the pacific. After the awful winter, we were able to continue our journey westward. We started to lose resources and getting into trouble.
