Hello my name is Lewis and my partner is Clark. Some people think that we are heroes because people think that we are great men. A hero is a person that influences a person. A hero is a person that somebody can look up to. A hero has courage to do what they can. They make decisions and make life a better place. We went on an expedition that lasted two years from (1804-1806). We set out on the Expedition because of the Louisiana Purchase. We were to explore the Pacific Northwest. The expedition to the Pacific Northwest was mainly to study the Indian tribes, botany, and geology. British and French Canadian hunters and trappers who are already well established in the area will be explored also.


 * __ After the Expedition: __** The U.S. gained an extensive knowledge of the geography of the American West in the form of maps of major rivers and mountain ranges. Clark and I found over 178 plants and 122 species and subspecies of animals. We found basically clothing... (Euro-American fur trade in the West). We became friends with the Indians and started strong relations. Most important, Clark and I found a law for Army exploration of the West. We made a huge body of literature about the West also known as the Lewis and Clark diaries.

This shows that Clark and I are heroes because, look what we have explored and look what we have accomplished. We both did something that only one person has done. We made friends with Indians who taught us how to make clothing and food. Kids will look up to us for that. We were even brave enough to travel around some of the world, knowing nothing about it. We took on a challenge, with courage to make a new law and to make friends with Indians who could have easily have killed us. A hero is me and my bud Clark!
