She acted as a translator and guide for the expedition. They made countless great discoveries, including many native tribes, not all of which were friendly.

the enemy of enthusiasm!” By Joe Clark (Morgan Freeman) Passion is the source which motivates the will to teach. It is clear, teachers do not step into the education field for the money.

This…

The Lewis and Clark expedition delivered many conflicts among the spectacular journey. Their expedition was exceedingly important, yet unpleasantly dangerous. Lewis and Clark and his crew traveled from the middle east to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, overcoming resilient winters, coarse terrain, and combative Indian tribes. Each day brought new important information, but also unwelcoming hardships. Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana territory in 1803 by France, planning to enlarge…

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…
