Bicentennial of lewis and clark corps of discovery

They returned to Saint 2 Louis with similar stories of arduous travel, diverse and welcoming communities, and satisfaction in creating a legacy of knowledge. While there is still no Northwest Passage, they found passages of hope, partnership, and understanding. To commemorate JeffersonвЂ™s legacy, Corps of Discovery II set out in 2003 with similar goals: to trade knowledge across the country, to befriend American communities along the way, and to follow the Missouri and Columbia rivers to the Pacific.

In 1806, they returned to tell Jefferson of their tripвЂ™s challenges, the diverse peoples they met, and the unwavering determination of the Corps that created success.

They traveled with his list of goals: To establish a trade network across the country, to befriend the American Indians encountered, and to confirm or deny the theory of an all-water Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean. Two hundred years ago, President Thomas Jefferson built his legacy as he explored the nationвЂ™s newest land vicariously through the members of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery.
