Lewis and Clark....

The Unthinkable News
By: Traci Pyles
Traci Pyles here with the Unthinkable, we have latest on everything you want to know. We are travel with Lewis and Clark. We are going to tell you what made this trip so unbelievable.
Jefferson wanted to know more about the mysterious lands west of the Mississippi. Jefferson chooses his private secretary, 28 years old, Meriwether Lewis to lead this journey of exploration. The expedition’s co-leader was William Clark, 32 years old; he is a friend of Lewis from the militia.
The expedition left St. Louis in the spring of 1804; they are slowly working there way up the Missouri River. Along their journey, they encounter a young Shoshone woman, Sacagawea. She joined the group as a guide. After spending the winter at the Pacific Ocean, both explore headed back east along separate routes.
In September 1806, Lewis and Clark returned. They had valuable information on people, plants, animals, and the geography of the land. What Lewis and Clark told the people, it inspire them to move west; so I would say that had a good trip.
I bet they seen a lot of beautiful land. Some pretty weird animals, and funny looking plants. They also told me that they meet some cool people, but I bet there glad to be home. Well that it with the Unthinkable turn in next week when we tell you about Burr and Hamilton. I wonder what they did.
