Now this is some history all about how a little group went west and what they found and I'd like to take a minute, just settle right in I'll tell you all about the Lewis Clark Expedition.In 1803 President Jefferson paid 50 million Francs for some new territory but that wasn’t enough, he wanted more. Find a Pacific waterway and explore.He knew a couple of guys who weren’t too busy. Put together a team called the “Corps of Discovery” set off for adventure and Jefferson said, “I’ve got a lot riding on this, so don’t end up dead.”Sailed up the Missouri, day after day searching for that Northwest pathway. Encountered all these animals that were new. Crew looked at each other and said, “this is kinda cool!”Reached the Mandan village after first snow then the temperature dropped to 45 below! "Is this what to expect in this new land?" "Hmmm we might need a new plan..."Met Sacagawea and her fur-trading husband odds to make it west now better than they had been smooth sailing west until they hit the mountains came across Shoshones while out scouting.The Chief was the brother of Sacajawea gave her a big hug and said “it’s good to see ya!” they were very helpful, those kind Shoshones a route through the mountains and some ponies.Coming down the mountain, food was scarce met a new tribe, The Nez Perce offered food and trees, they cut down a few hollowed them out to make some canoes.Careful instructions were then delivered so the crew could set down the Columbia River. After a year and a half, they made it to the ocean. Western settlement would soon be in motion.Ready to head back, their knowledge valuable with maps and discoveries of plants and animals
