Their achievements would later be used to argue that the U.S owned the Pacific Northwest while the expedition also paved the way westward for American expansion into the Pacific (Miller, 2008, 4). As a result, Lewis and Clark played a pivotal…

real historical character named George Gibson and I also played fiddle and wrote some music for the show, which was really crazy because my family is from the Pacific Northwest and I grew up reading books about the fiddlers on the Lewis and Clark expedition! It all kind of felt meant to be. The production was massive and there were a lot of big names involved— HBO had teamed up with Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks’ companies and NatGeo— but after a few months of shooting there were some problems that…

negotiator, and messenger. We all knew this wasn't going to be an easy task; however, we were willing to sacrifice our lives. I am going to show you the uphills and the downhills along this expedition. This was an extremely successful journey for me, but many things did not go as planned. Before the expedition, I lived like any ordinary native. I was born into the Shawnee nation on September 27, 1775 along the Detroit River to my Shawnee Indian mother, Asoundechris Flat Head. My father,…

When America gained the Louisiana Purchase territory, a vast property from France to expand America, the government required someone to explore and chart the region.

Clark Expedition embark on from St. Louis, Missouri. In the book and in the documentary we are able to see that on May 14, 1804, the expedition's boats departed their path up the Missouri River. Going up the journey progressed extremely slowly because they were going up against current of the river. During the expedition they faced a lot of adversity but they faced a lot of discovery as well. I can point out that one of the initial problems that they faced during the beginning of the expedition…

useful for three reasons. For example Lewis and Clark were able to discovered many new species of plant and animals, were able to chart and map the new land, and seek help from Sacagawea and make peace with the Native Americans. The Lewis and Clark expedition was an important part of history that proved to be very successful. Lewis and Clark discovered many new species of interesting plants…

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the first American expedition to cross the western portion of America. This expedition was called the Corps of Discovery Expedition, but it is more commonly known as the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

and Clark Expedition, which took place from 1804-1806. I wanted to learn more about this Shoshone woman, because she has been represented on the US dollar coin and possesses many monuments throughout the country. This clearly emphasizes that Sacagawea was a very prominent figure in American history. In order to educate the class and myself, the three categories that were crucial to the comprehension of her life and achievements include (in order): Sacagawea’s life before the expedition, her role…

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.…
