    Lewis and Clark Pictures

    Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the Corps of Discovery from 1804 to 1806 to explore the new territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the aid of Sacagawea.

    The Louisiana Purchase was made official on April 30, 1803. Statesmen James Monroe and Robert R. Livingstone led the negotiations with Comte Talleyrand for the property that Lewis and Clark would explore.

    And what a property it was. The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States in one fell swoop. Read more about the the men in charge of the Corps of Discovery and their adventures in the following pictures.

    Meriwether Lewis was a veteran of the U.S. Army who also served as a secretary to President Thomas Jefferson. See William Clark in the next photo.

    William Clark was also a militia and U.S. Army veteran. Clark's main responsibilities were for cartography, supplies and hunting. He was also a skilled negotiator with local tribes.

    The Corps' journey started from Camp Dubois, Illinois on May 14, 1804, and followed the Missouri River west. This illustration shows a typical Mandan tribal village that they came across later in the fall. The Mandans were agricultural rather than nomadic and built fortified villages.

    Fort Mandan was built near a Mandan settlement
