I think that I would choose a surveyor’s compass. I say this because if we are going into unknown land, we are going to need to know how to get around. We are going to need to know where we are heading, and this compass will help us do that.

The next item I would bring is 30 steels for striking to make fire. I would bring this because we are going to need a way to create a fire for our survival. This would be an easy and quick way to ensure our heat.

I would also bring 193 pounds of "portable soup". If we can’t find any source of food the portable soup would be our next option. The soup would ensure we don’t starve and that we are able to stay healthy. With this type of soup it would be easy and quick to make, allow us to continue on our journey.

I would also want to bring 288 knives. If we had knives we would be able to hunt with them, set up traps, and even use them as self defence. We would be able to carve things out of the wood, which could be very helpful.

I would definitely bring coats, because it could get really cold. If we aren’t warm enough that means we could get sick. If we end up getting sick then we could die. So, I believe that coats are necessary.

I would bring drugs for blistering, salivation and increased kidney output. We would most likely we get blisters from hiking and traveling so much. We wouldn’t want our blisters to get infected.

I would also bring 150 yards of cloth to be oiled and sewn into tents and sheets. If I brought this I would be able to make clothes, tents, and use it to repair torn stuff. I think that the cloth would be helpful because I could even make a bag to carry stuff out of it.

I would also bring 10 1/2 pounds of fishing hooks and fishing lines. I would bring this because if we were by the shore and we needed food, fishing could be our only resort. Which is why the fishing gear would be important.

I would lastly bring 130 rolls of tobacco. I would do this so that we would be able to trade with the Indians, and show them that we are friendly. If we are able to trade with them and become friends, we would be able to get other resources that we need.

As my Captain I would choose Meriwether Lewis to sail my ship. I would choose Lewis to be my captain because he was in the military. He joined the U.S Army and ended up serving for six years. This shows that he is brave and honorable. I would want someone who I could trust, and who I could count on during my mission. I think that Lewis would be just that. He was also chosen to be Jefferson secretary, which shows that he is hardworking. If he is hardworking that would be able to make my mission more likely to be successful.

Lewis was not only honorable and hardworking, but he also had other persuading qualities. He was very in shape which would be helpful for my journey, but he was also disciplined. Being disciplined shows good character this shows how structured his life is. Lewis also was very keen to seeing sharp and precise details. This shows how focused he is, and how he is able to see the little things that many others don’t. Lewis even had good leadership skills, and would be able to keep the other members of the crew in check. Considering all these reasons I am confident with my choice as Meriwether Lewis as my captain.

As my private I would choose George Shannon. I would choose George Shannon because he was considered very mature at a young age. Shannon was enlisted by William Clark, because he was so mature. Shannon was the youngest member who was on the expedition. Shannon has good discipline as well. He was able to track through Missouri. He kept going even though it was hot and it was hard labor.

George Shannon even shows his persistence through his journey’s. He would use his crafting skills in order to help out his group. One time he cut his foot, but he kept going. I would want him to be apart of my team because if he will keep going no matter what happens. He has a lot of experience with various expeditions and has been on various trips. I think that his experience would be a great bonus to my team.

For my nonmilitary member I would choose Sacagawea. She seems like she would benefit my team, and would be a necessity. Sacagawea has had a pretty rough and busy life. This gives her character, and even though she had been through so much she still kept going. This makes her persistence and willingness to go on very desirable. She also knows the land we would be venturing on very well, and could help us out with our geography.

Sacagawea also knows the plants and animals. She would be able to help us out and allow us to know which ones were dangerous and the ones we need to sat away from. She would be able to help us know which plants were poisonous. Sacagawea would also be able to show the other Native Americans that we are peaceful, and to show us more trust. She would be able to help us get better relationships with the other groups.

There could have been many thoughts when discovering the bearberry which it was referred to as kinnikinnick. When discovering this plant the members of the corps were thinking mainly about one thing which is whether or not the plant was edible. When thinking about if it was edible they were right, and they were able to learn that it could be used in many ways. They were able to use this plant as a quick snack to eat if they were in the need to go. Even though Lewis said that the red berries on their own was very bland and tasteless, he mentioned that once he boiled the berry it became sweet. So, it could be used as a quick bland snack, or a worthwhile tasty treat.

When Lewis and Clark were discovering the wolf, there were probably a couple things that they were thinking. They were thinking about how dangerous the creature was. They were able to see that it was eating other creatures, and were concerned about if it would try and eat them. They were also wondering if there were any other creatures like it. They were probably curious about the animals fur. They found it interesting how different the fur of wolves can look. They were also probably interested by the sharp teeth on it. Considering they chew on the bones of their prey, they were most likely wondering how sharp their teeth were. They were wondering about the hunting strategies of the animal as well. They found it interesting how the wolves travel and hunt in packs.

When working Lewis discovered a plant called the Snowberry. Lewis discovered this while he was trying to contact the Shoshone Indians. He said that this plant looked like a honeysuckle but it also looked a little different. He said that the plant was formed on a smooth pellice, and it happened to be very white. Lewis said that this plant contained berries that were joined together. He was curious as to how they would taste, and if they could be helpful. Lewis found out that the berries were very unpleasant to humans. Even though humans don’t really like this plant, bird seem to love it. Once Jefferson was able to grow the plants in his garden he said that they were thriving, and that the shrubs were very beautiful.

While on their expedition Lewis and Clark came across an animal which is known as an elk. While coming across this creature they were thinking about how they could use their meat as nutrition and then use their skin for clothes. Once they saw the elk they were trying to compare it to the deer. They probably thought that their antlers were interesting and trying to think of ways to use them. They found the velvet antlers were interesting since deer antlers are not velvet.  They were interested by the skins of the elk, and were thinking about how they could use them to stay warm. They came to a decision that elk were bigger than deer and they were easier to kill. They even thought that these big creatures meat was better than that of deer. They even agreed that the skins of the elk were better for their clothes. So overall they thought that the elk was better.

One Native American group that Lewis and Clark encountered while on their journey was the Blackfeet Indian Tribe. This certain group of Native Americans lived in modern day Montana. They were known to get along with European visitors and had a healthy relationship with the. They however did not not get along with Lewis and Clark.

When the tribe first met Lewis and Clark they were intimidated and had initial fear with them. Lewis and Clark explained their plans to make peace with all western Indian tribes, the Blackfeet tribe thought their plan posed a threat to them. They thought that if Lewis and Clark gave guns to everyone including their enemies, that it would only weaken their tribes power. So, they decided that they wanted to steal their guns. This did not go very well and two members of the Blackfeet tribe lost their lives. After that the Blackfeet tribe had haustitility with Americans.
