President Jeffereson wants to learn about the western land. He got the congress to fund a small western expedition. He got Mary - weather Lewis to explore the land. Lewis chose Wailliam Clark to be the co-leader of the expedition. Jefforson told the two of them to explore the Missouri river and to make a peaceful relationship with the American Indians. He also wants them to study the soil, animals, and the climate. Lewis and clark left for there expediton.

Lewis and Clark are traveling the Missouri River, the lands of Man-dan, and the Sue. Every time Lewis and Clark encounter a new tribe they explain to them that the Untied States now owns the land. Lewis and Clark are depending on the indians they meet and the indians are helping them alot, but the most help comes from Si-kaaga-waya. Both boys are keeping journals describing people, places, and animals.

Lewis and Clark have past the Plains and they are going past the Rocky Mountains. On the mountains there meeting more tribes and other people. There journey must be dangerous and exhausting. They just left the mountains and are following the columbia river. They are now on there way home and i'm sure they have alot of information to share with us.

While Lewis and Clark are traveling Zebulon Pike is going to find the starting point of the Red River. We think that the river forms Lousiana terratory's with new spain. While Pike was there he was spying on the Spanish outpost and forts in the southwest. Pike was arrested for spying on the Spanish but he is on his way home and he is happy that he had the opportunity to do bussiness with the Spanish and Southwest even though he was arrested.
