The Lewis and Clark Expedition took more than two years. The group experienced hunger, illness, injury, mosquito swarms, extreme heat, and threat of Indian attack along the way. Sacagawea, the only woman on the trip, went through all these challenges with her small son. She is a true American hero.
Fun Facts

Sacagawea was born in 1788 near the Salmon River in what is now Idaho. She belonged to the Lemhi Shoshone tribe.

She was kidnapped in 1800 by the Hidatsa tribe, enemies of the Shoshone Indians, during a buffalo hunt. She was only 12-years-old. She was taken to the Hidatsa-Mandan Indian settlement in what is now North Dakota.

In 1804, French trader Toussaint Charbonneau bought or was given Sacagawea as payment for a gambling debt. She became his wife and they soon had a son.

When Lewis and Clark met Sacagawea at the Mandan trading village, they knew she would be a valuable asset to their expedition. She spoke both Hidatsa and Shoshone and could help them negotiate for horses. She was also familiar with the land and was an expert food gatherer. She knew which plants, roots, and berries were edible and which were poisonous.

Sacagawea and Charbonneau joined the expedition only two months after their son was born.

A storm arose one day while the group was traveling by boat, nearly capsizing the craft carrying Sacagawea and her son. Quick-thinking Sacagawea gathered important documents, tools, and medicines, while taking care of her son.

While negotiating with the Shoshone Indians for horses, Sacagawea was reunited with her brother.

As a woman and mother, Sacagawea helped preserve peace between the expedition and any Indians they met. Her presence was calming to both groups.

After their long and difficult journey, Sacagawea and Charbonneau returned to the Mandan village. Charbonneau was given $500 and 320 acres of land. Sacagawea was given nothing, even though Clark called her his pilot and relied on her expertise and intelligence.

In 1812, Sacagawea had a daughter, Lizette. Sacagawea died soon after, probably of typhoid fever. Clark became the legal guardian of both her children, raising them to adulthood.

Vocabulary

1. Asset: something or someone that adds value or makes a positive contribution

2. Negotiate: to reach a mutually-agreeable arrangement, usually a business deal

3. Edible: safe to eat

Trading Goods on the Lewis and Clark Expedition

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Description

In the spring of 1803, Meriwether Lewis began to purchase scientific and mathematical instruments for a pending expedition into the northwestern region of North America. Among the items he purchased from Philadelphia instrument maker Thomas Whitney were three pocket compasses for $2.50 each, and this silver-plated pocket compass for $5. It has a mahogany box, a silver-plated brass rim that is graduated to degrees and numbered in quadrants from north and south, a paper dial, two small brass sight vanes, and a leather carrying case. Whether Lewis purchased the silver compass for himself or intended it as a special gesture for William Clark is not known.

Following the instructions of President Thomas Jefferson, the Corps of Discovery, under the leadership of Lewis and Clark, ascended the Missouri River in May 1804 to obtain detailed information on the natural resources of the region, to search for a northwest passage, and to make official diplomatic contact with Indian leaders.

By the time they returned to St. Louis in September 1806, few of the instruments that were purchased for the trip had survived the journey. The pocket compass, however, was kept by Clark as a memento. He later gave the compass to his friend, Capt. Robert A. McCabe, whose heirs donated it in 1933 to the Smithsonian Institution.

In preparation for the journey, Meriwether Lewis wrote a list of necessary items to be taken. Due to Lewis's spelling, some of the words may not look familiar to you; please sound them out phonetically to understand them. See http://media.nara.gov/media/images/19/29/19-2831a.gif for a look at the manuscript version of the Indian gifts.

Sent by President Thomas Jefferson to find the Northwest Passage, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the most important expedition in American history. This extraordinary film tells the remarkable story of the entire Corps of Discovery - not just of the two Captains, but the young army men, French-Canadian boatmen, Clark's African-American slave, and the Shoshone woman named Sacagawea, who brought along her infant son. As important to the story as these many characters, however, was the land itself, and the promises it held.

The mission of the Corps of Discovery was to explore the uncharted West. Beginning February 28, 1803 It would be led by Meriwether Lewis, and Lewis' friend, William Clark. Over the next four years, the Corps of Discovery would travel thousands of miles, experiencing lands, rivers and peoples that no Americans ever had before. Ken Burns' LEWIS & CLARK re-creates the 1803 journey to locate the Northwest Passage. The explorers found a varied landscape and a dizzying diversity of Indian peoples.

Premiered: November 4, 1997

Espontoon on the Trail | Discovering Lewis & Clark ®

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
That the espontoon figures in each of these "curious adventures" makes it a kind of fateful medicine stick, reminding us of climactic times in Lewis's life. Generally these events occurred when Lewis walked by himself in the wilderness. The espontoon gave him confidence alone in the field heading into the dangers and hazards ahead.
