2)15 prototype Model 1803 muzzle-loading .54 caliber rifles: Guns would be easy for hunting, possibly defending yourself, and will provide protection. 

3) 420 pounds of sheet lead for bullets: With having guns you will need ammunition. 

4)Knives: Knives would be good to cut down branches for making shelter. 

5)other drugs for blistering, salivation and increased kidney output: these would be extremely important for people getting sick, tired, or hurt. 

6)shoes: with constantly walking and travelling extra shoes would be a must because your own shoes would be worn down and uncomfortable.

7)45 flannel shirts: Essential for the winter, getting a hole in your shirt, your shirt getting torn

8) 33 pounds of tiny beads of assorted colors: This would be for the Indians as they make many colorful bracelets and necklaces .

9)map of the Great Bend of the Missouri River: This would help with exploration knowing where to go and how to avoid danger.

10)Barton’s Elements of Botany: If you are going to explore the unknown you would need to know what plants are harmful, which ones you can eat, and which ones that can make medicines.

   I would choose Lewis to be the Captain with me on the trip. This is because Lewis was good with knowing the woods, he knew a lot about Indian culture and mannerisms, he also had a good eye for plants. These skills and traits would be good for an expedition of exploring new lands. It was said that Lewis did a lot of training and researching for the expedition. He studied things like the topography of the Western frontier, navigation, distance, and potential enemies.    Lewis also was great at communicating with the Native Americans as he gave speeches reassuring the Natives in Missouri. Lewis also disciplined other people during the expedition which would mean that he took the expedition seriously and did not want people to not purposely harm or play around. ]]> 2021-01-26 03:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124936406 Post 2 Captain Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124939250 2021-01-26 04:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124939250 Post 2 sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124940233 Private

  For a Private I would take William Bratton. William Bratton was a very good hunter and could provide food for us and any animals that we take along. He was a very good gunsmith and that would be useful if we encounter any danger. Bratton was in charge of a search party and brought back his men to Corps and also the chief of the Oto Indians as he wanted to make peace. 
  Bratton’s blacksmithing skills were very important and it came to good use to trade with the Mandan Indians.  With Bratton being a skilled blacksmith it could come in handy if something were to break while travelling. He was good at negotiating and trading with others including Native Americans. It would be easy to have him then because he would help get food, guns, or amo. ]]> 2021-01-26 04:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124940233 Post 2 Private Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124943142 2021-01-26 04:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124943142 Post 2 sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124943816 Non-Military
  A non-military member I would want to accompany me would be Sacagawea. I would choose her because she would be a great translator.  She would also know the culture of some Native American tribes so she could help trade things between each other. She would dig roots, collecting edible plants and picking berries; all of these were used as food and sometimes, as medicine. When the boat she was on almost capsized she recovered many papers that would have perished. 
  Since she was also the only woman, people often thought that the men on the expedition came in peace and that would be useful because people wouldn’t charge at us thinking we were a threat. When on the journey home she knew the trails through her homeland and was a very useful guide. Overall Sacagawea would be very important for an expedition like this. With her knowledge of plants, Native American cultures, and knowing both languages it made the expedition easier.

Buffalo Berries were discovered by Clark during the expedition. He found them after passing by Ionia volcano. Clark described the berry that makes “deliteful Tarts.” This was a well known berry to the Native Americans. Although very common amongst Native American tribes in the area it was new to science. The berry is located in a thorny, spiky bush and sometimes can be dangerous to recover. Back when getting these berries were a lot harder people would use a baseball bat to hit the bushes until the berries fell off. ]]> 2021-01-26 04:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124946454 Post 3 Plant #1 Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124947700 2021-01-26 04:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124947700 Post 3 Plant #2 sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124948650  The Cottonwood Tree was first written about by Lewis during their expedition. Lewis and Clark found 3 different species of Cottonwood trees. It is said that it is hard to distinguish between one another. Female cottonwood trees produce thousands of fruits and depending on its size can produce up to millions of seeds. The stream Lewis and Clark visited during their expedition had a line of cottonwood trees on the left and right. ]]> 2021-01-26 04:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124948650 Post 3 Plant #2 Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124950844 2021-01-26 04:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124950844 Post 3 sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124951733 Animal #1

Lewis and Clark discovered the northern racoon. The northern racoon was discovered on the outbound journey along the Chariton River in Missouri. This racoon can survive and adapt in any location or habitat including cities. This is as long as they have access to water.  These racoons will eat almost anything they can find which helps them survive in any location. ]]> 2021-01-26 04:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124951733 Post 3 Animal #1 Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124953083 2021-01-26 04:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124953083 Post 3 sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124953837 Animal #2 
Lewis and Clark first found the Black-billed magpie in present day North Dakota. This species was first classified as a subspecies to the European Magpie. It now has its own species status. There are only 2 Magpie species in North America which includes black-billed and yellow-billed magpies. They are each quite easy to distinguish from one another. You can tell the differences between their bill shapes and breeding traits. ]]> 2021-01-26 04:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124953837 Post 3 Animal #2 Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124954993 2021-01-26 04:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124954993 Post 4 sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124956702 Lewis and Clark encountered the Shoshone Indians also known as the Snake Indians. This tribe was located in the Rocky Mountains in teepees and hunted buffalo. The Shoshone Indians had suffered a great loss before encountering Lewis and Clark. Although suffering from a great loss Clark wrote, “Notwithstanding their extreme poverty they are not only cheerful but even gay, fond of gaudy dress and amusements...”  The first encounter between the Shoshone Indians and Lewis and his men was on August 13. The women that were first to see the four men were frightened but after Lewis had laid his gun down and gave them trinkets and painted their faces with vermilion, a symbol of peace. The women brought them to their village and tribe. The tribe was friendly with Lewis and his men. They exchanged gifts and the Shoshone Indians even shared their food with them. They were treated as guests.  During their stay with the Shoshone Indians there was a realization that their leader and Sacagawea were brother and sister. With help of Sacagawea in translating the Shoshone Indians had given Lewis some horses  to get on their way. ]]> 2021-01-26 04:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124956702 Post 4 Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124959185 Chief Washakie of the Shoshone Indians ]]> 2021-01-26 04:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124959185 Post 5 sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124983443 Location #1: Travelers' Rest
On September 9, 1805 before the passage along the Bitterroot Mountains they camped along a creek. This was located in the Midwest region.  Lewis and Clark named this creek Travelers' Rest. Clark recorded the latitude of the area, 46° 48’ 28”. This was used as a guide for their hunters to know where to come back to after hunting. There was an encounter with three Flathead warriors during their stay. This was a friendly encounter as they were trying to find two men from another tribe that had stolen horses. This is now a very popular campsite. ]]> 2021-01-26 04:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124983443 Post 5 Location #1 Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124984390 2021-01-26 04:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1124984390 Post 5 sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1125000733
Location #2: Middle Village - Station Camp
The station camp was located on the north side of the Columbia River, east of Chinook, Washington, you’ll find Middle Village – Station Camp, the site of a significant Chinook village. Chinook people had lived here near the river’s mouth, but when the Corps came in November 1805 they moved their vinter village and left their settlement unoccupied. The Corps only spent 10 days in Middle Village. While at the Middle Village Clark was able to produce a detailed and accurate map of the mouth of Columbia and the surrounding areas. Middle Village was located in the Northwest Region.  ]]> 2021-01-26 04:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1125000733 Post 5 Location #2 Image sjohnson2517 https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1125002307 2021-01-26 04:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson2517/wk0vbqqtsd28lqh/wish/1125002307
