On May 14, 1S04, the expedition set out In three boats up the Missouri. At the prow of the main boat, a bateau 55 feet long, manned by 22 oars, flouted the American ling. Th other boats were open pirogues with about six oars each. Horses were led along the hank by members of the parly for dally use of the Vinters and for emergencies If attacked by iiidluns. On Mav 22 the explorers had their first contact with the Indians, a party of Klckapoos, who gave them four deer on Good Mans river. It was not until more than a month later June 20 that they reached the present site of Kansas City 43 days In crossing the state of Missouri, a Journey wllch chn now be made overnight. Here the explorers held council with the Kansas Indians and here for the first time they saw buffalo.

By this time they had come t.CtKi miles and during their journey they Imd kept records of all they had seen. Curing the winter they worked on their reports, t tie first written records of this region that had ever been made, and when spring opened the next year a detachment of 14 men as chosen to carry this report hack to President Jefferson. On April 7 the paiiy left Fort Mandan, having built new canoes and laid up a large supply of provisions, mn nly peimnican. the dried meat of buffalo. The party now numbered 32. occupying six canoes and two pirogues. The canoes were made from green cottonwood, the only material available and although It was scarcely suitable for the purpose yet it Is a part of Lewis and Clarkes brilliant achievement that they traversed over 1,0o) miles of the roughest water of the Missouri In such makeshift craft as these. u . The departure from Fort Muudau wua marked by another high spot In the history of the expedition. For It wns there that they engaged a Chiilmneuu, a gui le and Interpreter. With thla man went his Indian wife, Saknkawea, :he Bird Woman," a captive from the Fnnke Indians of the Rockies. American history might tijtve been different In mnny respect' If the lives of thla Indian girl and the two young Virginians had not been Joined on the plains of North Ihtkota 123 yenra ago It was Saknknwea who told them of the shining mountains which ln.v beyond nnd on May. 2d, 18ii5, Meriwether l.ewis climbed to the top of a high cliff ant! for the first time a white man looked upon those mountain. The difficulties of the isriy were constantly too deep for Increasing. The river hnd poles and too swift for paddles, so they were forced to pull the boats upstream t lth tow lines. Hesplte all of the handicaps under which they were laboring the expedition pushed on. On July Iff they entered the GuV" of the Bookies" and six days laer Cn tain Clark discovered the three which he gave the names forks of the Missouri of three American statesmen Jefferson. Mndlson and Gallatin. Continuing on their Journey on August 12 they came to a fountain or spring from which icy waas the headwater of the ter trickled. Thla mighty Missouri, one of the goals ot their adventuring In the wlhlreness. Three quarters of a mile further on they found what they described as a hold creek" running to the west. It was the Lemhi river, a branch of the Columbia. Frtn now on .t wns essentially a "down hill" lourney, although their further wayfaring was to lie In some of the roughest country or the American continent. Then. too. n new danger suddenly appeared. They came Into contact with the Shoshone Indians whose hostile attitudi was changed to friendliness when Sakakawen rei ogniz d the chief. Cam-pwall. ns her hrothei whom sh- bad not seen since she hnd been stolen from Hie Snakes (Shoshones) several years before. Assured now of supplies, which had become a serious problem as the scarcity of game Increased, the Americans bought horses from the Shoshones and continued their westward way. Crossing the foothills they reached a village of Nez Perce Indians who gave them fisl and enmns roof to eat. Finding the river here navigable, they hollowed logs with tire, and purchasing from the Indians as many dogs (for food) ns they could carry, the explorers set sail down the Koosl.oos-keor Clearwater river. On October 1(5 they reached the mouth of the Snake river and floated Their Journey on these out into the Columbia westward flowing waters hid heer a strenuous one. Bepeatedly their canoes were upset in the whirlpools or crashed into rocks. Much of their baggage was lost. With virtually nothing to eat except dog meat and the roots which Sakakawea taught them were edible, they were hungry nnd weary and lacking in .early everything hut a strong resolution to go on. S- they sailed on down the Columbia Hnd on November 7 their courage was rewarded. For on that dafi they first caught that ocean, the object of all sight of the Pacific our labors; the rvwurd of all our anxieties. This cheering view exhilarated the spirits of the party who were still more delighted on hearing the They had been gone distant roar of breakers. from St. Louis more than IS months, they had covered by land nnd by water, through perils of every description, more than 4.INXI miles.

In the early days of the American republic, the Mississippi river was not only the western boundary of the new nation, but It wus also the Jumping off pluce" Into an unknown almost as mysterious as that which confronted Columbus when he set the sails of his rnrnvels to voyage across the Atlantic. I'rue, a few French traders and venturesome Amerlean trappers had gone up the Mississippi to the country of the Sioux ami Mandans and there had ueard vague tales of the regions beyond from other traders who had ventured south or southwesterly from the Canadian empire where the Itrltish fur companies reigned. True, In 1792 Cnpt. Itohert Gray of the ship Columbia out of Iloston had blundered Into the harbor of a vnst rlvc flowing Into the Pacific and hud called this river after ,ds ship. Itut what lay between the mouth of the Missouri and the mouth of the Columbia was practically unkuown to the vliite. man. They knew vaguely that there was a vast area of grassy plains, but what lay beyond them was not even guessed at. The Kocky mountains were not kn.wn to exist, although under the name of Stonles, their northern extensions In the part of A merlon held by the British, appeared on some maps. But where was that first thin trickle which grew larger and larger as It wound Its wny south, finally to pour the waters of the Big Muddy Into the Father of Waters" above the old French town of St. Louis? No one knew Then Napoleon Bonaparte,' planning another war with Giea- Britain, u war in which he would need a great amount of money, and realizing that the Mistress of the Setts could readily seize and hold the vast territory ot Iuilslann, Frances only territory In America, decided upon a double-edgestroke at Ills lulled enemy. He would sell Louisiana to the Americans. President Thomas Jefferson, holding Ids Ideal of a nation that should be ns broad ns the cnntinen a republic under one flag from ocean to ocean, was quick to see the So the Louisiana Purchase, "the opportunity. biggest real estate deai In history was made. Napoleon got his $t5,(XM,(HiO and the Infant republic doubled its expanse o ernlght. Even before the purchase treaty was signed. Jefferson was planning the nudaclous enterprise of exploring the wilder less which lay between the Mississippi and tjie Pacific. He Imd been disturbed by the reports that the English were planning an expedition to study the geography of the western coast and possibly to colonize It. In January, 1803. he had secured from congress a secret promise to sent a party of ten men across wlmt was still French territory to explore the Missouri river and whatever river, heading with that, runs into the western sea.' -For the der of tl'"edition Jefferson had chosen his secretary, red headed young Meriwether Lewis, a Virginian who had already made his mark as a soldier under Mad Anthony Wayne, l.ewis In turn selected another Virginian, his friend William ("lark, brother of George lingers Clark, the conqueror of the old Northwest during the Kevolution, as his second In command and substitute commander In case of need.
