Lewis and Clark Expedition

The two are also famous for the Corpse of Discovery, which consisted of forty-two people, a baby, and one dog. Lewis, Clark, and the others explored the land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase and further west, from 1804 through 1806. During their two-year expedition, the group founded Fort Manden in what is now known as North Dakota. They wintered here in relative comfort, before setting out again – and later on, in the spring, meeting…

benefit the government and the country as a whole. Thomas Jefferson was a great president as well, but he wasn't as strong as the other two. He may have written the Declaration of Independence but all of the other things he did, like the Lewis and Clark expedition or purchasing the Louisina Territory, didn't benefit people back then. They benefit us now but back then, people were too busy working and doing other things to care about all that. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were both…

I, Thomas Jefferson, am a firm believer in the Constitution and not borrowing money from others. But now I am in a predicament where I may have to violate my morals. I am able to obtain an immense tract of land for a comparatively cheap price of $15 million. The only thing is I do not have permission to buy land, declare the people living there citizens, nor do I have $15 million lying around. So to obtain this land I would have to borrow money from the British and defy the Constitution. Now…

woman who interpreted for and guided Lewis and Clark. At 13 Sacagawea was taken as a wife by trapper, Toussaint Charbonneau. When Lewis and Clark asked the trappers if any of them would be willing to guild them, Charbonneau told them about his Native American wife. Sacagawea was pregnant at the time, but managed to aid the men greatly and help them out of intense situations. Her son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau was born during the expedition. After the expedition Sacagawea and her husband went to…

In Robert Morgan’s book, “Lions of the West”, it explains the journey of moving and life in the west starting with Thomas Jefferson’s birth through Westward Expansion to the Indian Wars of the west. Morgan also talks about how Jefferson wasn’t the only person to push Westward Expansion to what it is today; sure some politicians and others like Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Sam Houston all contributed to the push for Westward Expansion. Jackson’s push to Westward Expansion was on…

today and not many "of us can imagine a world where we cannot just 'go check it out at the library' at any time" (Jacobson 6) that we see fit. He also impacted the nation and our government by launching the westward expansion of "the famed Lewis and Clark Expedition" (Jacobson 5) and had the most important job "of the writing of the Declaration of Independence" (Jacobson 4). Because Jefferson helped…

How Does Investigation Lead to Discovery? Most people don’t think of exploring the moon when talking about Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. Sure, they both are explorations, but one was on Earth, and the other was on the moon. But they are both capable of answering the question: How does investigation lead to discovery? Investigating, or searching, studying, testing, questioning, experimenting, and finding every possible answer is key to finding new things, but how? The Captain’s Dog…

There has been much speculation as to who has murdered Thomas Jefferson On July 4, 1808 in the white house. The only clues found were a foreign coin, a map of the United States and surrounding territories, a torn piece of paper with “Jacobin” written on it, a Bible, a pass to Congress, copies of Jefferson’s First Inaugural Address and his Notes on the State of Virginia, part of a cartoon with “O Grab Me” written on it, a gavel, and a broken oar. The killer would have needed some sort of motive…
