21. Lewis And Clark's Historic Trail On May 14th 1804 Meriwether lewis and William clark set out on an amazing expedition across the Louisiana Territory. It has been nearly 200 years since then http://www.lewisclark.net/

In May, 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out on an amazing expedition across the Louisiana Territory. It has been nearly 200 years since then, and the bicentennial of their historic journey is rapidly approaching. These true American heroes faced unknown people, harsh conditions and unexplored lands to secure a place in history as two of the world's greatest explorers. One of the expedition's stops along the way was near present-day Yankton, South Dakota, and the Yankton Area Chamber of Commerce along with the Yankton Daily Press and Dakotan has put together this site to celebrate Yankton's place in history as well as sites along the rest of the Lewis and Clark Trail.

Sacagawea Statue (Bismarck, ND) Sacagawea turned out to be incredibly valuable to the Corps as it traveled westward, through the territories of many new tribes. Some of these Indians, prepared to defend their lands, had never seen white men before. As Clark noted on October 19, 1805, the Indians were inclined to believe that the whites were friendly when they saw Sacagawea. A war party never traveled with a woman especially a woman with a baby. During council meetings between Indian chiefs and the Corps where Shoshone was spoke, Sacagawea was used and valued as an interpreter. Contents Inside The Corps The Corps Site Map ... Send Feedback

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians Sacagawea Shoshone (Snake) interpreter of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Sacagawea (Sacajawea, Sakakawea) was born in a Northern Shoshone village in the vicinity of the Lemhi River valley in what is today Idaho; it is likely that she was a member of the Agaiduka or Salmon Eater band of the Shoshone tribe. Around 1800, while her tribe was engaged in a hunting or war expedition east of their home territory in the Three Forks area of the Missouri River (Montana), she was captured, most likely by the Hidatsas from the Knife River village of Metaharta (North Dakota). Sacagawea was twelve to fourteen years old at the time of her capture. By 1804 she had become the property of Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian trader and trapper. In the winter of 1804-1805, Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark wintered at Fort Mandan on the Missouri River in what is today North Dakota, where they encountered Charbonneau and Sacagawea. Before leaving Fort Mandan in April 1805 to continue their westward journey, Lewis and Clark hired Charbonneau as an interpreter, requesting that he bring one of his Shoshone wives with him. Charbonneau brought Sacagawea, who had given birth to their son, Jean Baptiste, on February 11, 1805, at the fort; the infant became the youngest member of the expedition. While much popular literature portrays Sacagawea as the pilot of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, her role as expedition guide has been greatly exaggerated. She was unfamiliar with most of the terrain through which the expedition traveled, and so could not have led the expedition to the Pacific Ocean. Sacagawea's geographical knowledge was limited to the region near her homeland in the Three Forks area of the upper Missouri River; here she recognized landmarks and provided some direction to Lewis and Clark.

About the Lewis and Clark Site Banner The Lewis and Clark Expedition and the USGS Exploration Recruitment Preparation D The Lewis and Clark Expedition was the first of many government surveys of natural resources in the American West. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was established on March 3, 1879 in response to a report from the National Academy of Sciences, which had been asked by the Congress in 1878 to provide a plan for surveying and mapping the Territories of the United States that would secure the best possible results at the least possible cost. The USGS continues to serve the nation as an independent fact-finding agency that provides scientific understanding about natural-resource conditions, issues, and problems. Because of its origin in natural resource surveys and the similarity of the USGS mission to Thomas Jefferson's charge to Meriwether Lewis , the USGS can be seen as the organizational successor to Lewis and Clark.

35. The Lewis & Clark Trail By Bicycle Two modern day explorers retrace the trail of the original expedition by bicycle. http://www.lewisandclarktrailbybicycle.com/

email the Captains Nearly 200 years ago, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and their 'Corps of Discovery' departed on an epic journey across the interior of the United States seeking a water passage to the Pacific Ocean. Meriwether Lewis William Clark Inspired by "Undaunted Courage", two modern day explorers are retracing the trail of the original expedition by bicycle. Rex Garrelts (Capt. Lew) Mark Viets (Capt. Bill) Rex (Captain Lew) and Mark (Captain Bill) by day an engineer and architect respectively, are the self appointed captains. Possessing none of the conveniences of the original expedition (water craft, sextant, rifles, blue beads), the captains have made do with mapping software, touring bicycles, water bottles, and raw guts. We have decided that the only way to traverse the entire 4,000 mile Trail (short of quitting our jobs or calling in sick for a long time) is through a series of short (3-5 day) "Trips". The logistics are manageable within 300 miles of our Kansas City home base, but will become much more complex beyond that. We hope you will enjoy traveling with us. We would like to hear from you, and if you're so inclined, join us for the ride.
