The Corps of Discovery, led by Merriwheter Lewis and William Clark travelled in 1804 up the Missouri River, over the Rocky Mountains, and down the Snake and Columbia Rivers. Despite great physial challenges, isolation, and near starvation at times, the expedition mapped vast territories of the west. In November 1805, they reached their ultimate destination, the shores of the Pacific Ocean near present day Astoria, Oregon. The words of their journals provide exciting glimpses of their remarkable adventure. A seminal story for the modern culture of the United States of America.
