Sacagawea

2. "Salus populi suprema lex esto” "Salus populi suprema lex esto” means let the good of the people be the supreme law. This idea ties in with the declaration of independence which becomes a justification for the American colonies to break free from Englands rule. Under Englands rule, the laws placed on the people of the colonies were not for the good of the people, but rather for the good of the English who were in debt 137 million pounds after the 7 years war that lasted from 1754-1763.…

Today is the day we travel on the trail to the Pacific Ocean. Meriwether Lewis is the leader of this expedition and William Clark is his companion on the expedition. Thomas Jefferson wanted them to find a trail that leads to the Pacific Ocean. On May 21, 1804 we started our journey. We traveled to the Louisiana territory. On our journey we came across some coyotes. They are so beautiful, they have grizzled gray or orangish gray above with buff underparts. They have long rusty or yellowish…

Lewis had some close calls and about lost his life many times in the journey. We were accompanied by a interpreter by the name of Sacagawea who is from the Shoshone tribe. She was a great interpreter and a great member of our party, there was a couple times she saved our butts in the expedition and saved our stuff our found us food. If it wasn't for Sacagawea we probably wouldn't have made it over the Rockies. We are still very grateful for everything she…

We start in the time period of about 1803, this is all how the notorious adventure begins. Thomas Jefferson president at the time had an interest in the Louisiana territory owned by the French so with the help of the U.S. Senate he purchases it. Which is known today as the Louisiana Purchase. After Jefferson discussed exploring the New Land beyond the “great rock mountains” he appointed his personal secretary Meriwether Lewis to voyage to the ocean. Lewis asked for help on this trip by a man…

To say that Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were explorers during the early 1800’s, would undermine the contributions they possess in American exploration history. President Thomas Jefferson requested that his aide, Meriwether Lewis (hunter, outdoorsman, herbologist and former Army officer) lead a team of explorers, and study the western component of the west, now known as the Pacific Northwest. William Clark (outdoorsman, Army officer, celestial observer and cartographer) was asked to be his…

Captain William Clark, and four dozen other men. We came across native american tribes and treated very well by them. We traded with the tribes, expanded trading routes, and invited tribe representatives to Washington D.C. Also, if it was not for Sacagawea, we would not have returned home to greet our families. Before the trip started, we built a 55-foot boat, several small boats, and an iron framed boat which was later abandoned due to unfixable leaks. President Jefferson hired both captains…

in the river, they sent out groups to search each of the streams. Around June 13, they reached the Great Falls in Montana, where Sacagawea had once lived and home of the Shoshone, proclaimed Quiri (2001, p.27). They could not take their boats through the falls so they used trees to build trucks with wheels to carry them over land, taking nearly a month. Later, Sacagawea became very sick and Clark nursed her back to health. Lewis also became sick and after two doses of black liquid from boiled…

The Louisiana Purchase. Always a topic seeming to float around and a subject to a lot of chatter. Not many others could have had the advantage to accompany the Discovery Corps on their mission to explore the new land. They would depart in 1803, and leave with the option of no return. With a mission to explore for the betterment of our country, who wouldn't want all of the glory and fame it would bring. Many people around me asked of my adventures or my viewpoint on my comrades. So I've channeled…

It is at this point in the essay where examining the specific journal entries of Lewis, Clark and the known associates of the expedition help prove the question of whether or not the expedition was truly well prepared for their journey westward. Upon beginning their journey, Lewis was attentive as ever, “staying up till midnight, making observations every five minutes or so for an hour or more.” This was only practice, as the group was still making its way down the Ohio, and was often…
