When Thomas Jefferson (elect) President in 1800 he (advocate)
the western expansion of the young republic. With a stroke
of a pen he (accomplish) the task. In 1803 the United States
(purchase) the Louisiana territory from France for 15 million dollars.
America nearly (double) in size with the acquisition of this vast area,
about eight hundred twenty-eight thousand square miles stretching from the Mississippi
Valley to the Rocky Mountains. But what (be) out there? To answer
that question, Congress, at Jefferson’s request, (authorize)
an expedition to explore America’s newest addition.
In May 1804, the corps of discovery, a group of about 40 soldiers and officers
(lead) by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, (depart)
their camp on the Mississippi River to begin their historic journey.
Their mission (be) to find the so-called Northwest passage, a water
route across the continent to the Pacific Ocean and document their findings. Their route
(take) them to the headwaters of the Missouri River across
the Continental Divide and down the mountains by several rivers including the Snake and
the Columbia.
Along the way, they (catalogue) many new plants and animals,
(draw) detailed maps, and (make)
contact with several Indian tribes. Among the Native Americans they (encounter)
, (be) Sacagawea, a Shoshone Indian
woman, who (join) the expedition as an interpreter. Her knowledge
of the land, firm determination and good relations to other Native Americans (make)
her indispensable. As the expedition’s only woman member she
(become) an early legend of the West.
In November 1805 the expedition finally (reach) what is now
Oregon’s Pacific Coast. Clark (write) in his journal: “Ocean in view,
O, the joy!”
In September 1806, after more than two years exploring the West, the Lewis and Clark
expedition (return) to St. Louis and (hail)
a great success. Not only had they accomplished their mission, but they also (bring)
about the opening of the West to settlers and, as
Jefferson (hope) , to American ideals.
