played a 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…

Hello, I would like to introduce myself. I am George Drouillard, but most people refer to me as Drewyer. I was recruited by my fellow friend, Captain Meriwether Lewis for the amazing journey along the Missouri River, which is known as the Corps of Discovery. I was a hunter, interpreter, pilot, diplomat, tracker, horse trader, 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…

The Lewis and Clark Expedition How would you feel if you were asked by the president to lead an expedition to explore new land? 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. This party of explorers was led by Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark. The expedition lasted three years with only one occupant of their crew dying along the journey. The Lewis and Clark…

I can clearly say that during the fall of 1803, Lewis and 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…

Lewis and Clark started their journey on May 14, 1804 ending March 23, 1806. They were scavenging to find a Northwest passage way, that would prove to be very useful in trade. Lewis and Clark were able to bring a group called the Corps of Discovery who consisted of 33 people not counting Lewis manservant York and Sacagawea. Lewis and Clark journey was very 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…

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. President Thomas Jefferson ordered the expedition shortly after the purchase of the Louisiana Territory in 1803. Lewis and Clark were to be accompanied by a few select US Army volunteers. Their journey lasted from May 1804 to September 1806. Their main objective…

Sacagawea is mostly known for being a member of the Lewis 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…

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…

In the play, Sacajawea the Indian Princess, Clark, one of the explorers, asks Sacagawea:" then will you Sacajawea, go to pilot us through your country, to show us the river of the sun?"(1.14). He explains that they will not pay for this: "Everyone must give part of himself to the land of which he enjoys the freedom" (Sacajawea 1.14). This sentence that Clark utters is supposed to be for the audience to prove how willing was Sacagawea to help the new explorers. Wolfrom, here, asserts The Indian…

Jefferson’s Dilemma The United States history thus so far, is full of many bargains but one of the most controversial and beneficial bargains is the Louisiana Purchase. This bargain occurred back in the 1800s of which the President Thomas Jefferson was able to undertake the deal of the century. This bargain initiated when Jefferson wanted to purchase New Orleans because France was enforcing stricter regulations therefore, making it difficult for American settlers to trade in that particular…
