I am Meriwether Lewis
I studied Botany, Astronomy, Fossils, and Math
May 14th, 1804 I set sail
I took 7 boats, and our mission was to find a Northwest Passage
from the Mississippi to the Pacific
William Clark & I and 40 other men
crossed over Bitterroot Mountains into Idaho
We travelled along the Columbia River
and finally reached the Pacific in November of 1805
During the Expedition I met Sacagawea
She accompanied us and helped us with navigation
in Northern Oregon we built Fort Clatsop and spent the
winter there
we returned to St. Louis September 3rd, 1806
we traveled a total of 9,000 miles
