Sacagawea and the Lewis & Clark Expedition

The Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806), commissioned by President Jefferson, stands as one of America's most legendary journeys, exploring the unknown western territories after the Louisiana Purchase. Over nearly two years, the team traversed the continent, forging alliances with Native American tribes, mapping vast regions, and uncovering the ecological and geographical riches of the new land. Their groundbreaking trek culminated in reaching the Pacific coast and returning to St. Louis, leaving a lasting legacy of exploration and discovery.
