His reasons for the mission were many (beyond basic exploration), and he was smart to get Congress to appropriate the money for the trip.
What was the journey like and would I have liked to have been part of it? The journals that Lewis and Clark kept provided the president with a wealth of new information about the animals and the natural world in the northwest region of the young country. The abundance of the salmon in the rivers was astounding to Lewis and Clark, and the bison, the elk, the pronghorn sheep and wolves made a huge impression on these men. They also encountered giant grizzly bears and were amazed by the enormousness of the plains spreading out before them. I would have...

The Shoshone bartered with them for horses which the team would need to cross the Rockies and for information relating to the pass routes used by the Nez Perce (Lewis and Clark). With this help, the expedition found a suitable pass in the fall of 1805 along the Montana/Idaho border.

Lewis & Clark From the time the Mayflower arrived, Manifest Destiny was etched onto the consciousness of European settlers. An immutable sense of entitlement, coupled with a belief in the spiritual purpose of the mission, is what permeated every decision made by colonial and later, American officials with regards to settlement patterns, land acquisitions, and relations with Native Americans. Native Americans may have had their own "manifest destiny," which was unfortunately
