A little learning


I enjoy history and historical facts and was surprised to see Meriwether Lewis was a whole lot more than an explorer.  Meriwether Lewis is best known for his role as the co-leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition also known as the Corps of Discovery, with William Clark. Their mission was to explore the territory of the Louisiana Purchase, establish trade and sovereignty over the natives near the Missouri River, and claim the Pacific Northwest and Oregon territory for the United States before European nations. That’s what we know about him, but read his placard, an amazing historical figure.
