Trailblazers and Trendsetters
On May 14, 1804, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark embarked on a heroic expedition; their mission was to travel from the mouth of the Missouri River, near St. Louis, to the Pacific Ocean - and back again. Lewis and Clark led the expedition, known as the Corps of Discovery, on an 8,000-mile journey. For 28 months they explored much of the territory of Louisiana while mapping rivers, collecting plants and animals new to science, holding councils with Native Americans, and keeping detailed journals.
