Following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson initiated an exploration of the newly purchased land and the territory in the West. Jefferson selected Meriwether Lewis, his personal secretary at the time, to lead the Expedition; Lewis in turn sought the help of William Clark, who was an adept frontiersman.

Nevada is dominated largely by uninhabited, sagebrush-covered desert and is semi-arid, with the prominent Great Basin Desert and the Mojave Desert. Native American Tribes such as the Shoshone, the Paiute, the Washoe, and the Mohave inhabited Nevada before the arrival of Europeans.
